Art Schlichter's multi-million-dollar NFL ticket scheme used to fund his compulsive gambling habit, along with his cocaine use while on house arrest in 2012, will put the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback in an Ohio penitentiary until September 2021.
Schlichter, 60, was released last week from the Federal Correctional Institute in Florence, Colorado, after serving eight years for federal fraud charges related to a massive ticket scheme that bilked millions of dollars from his victims.
On Aug. 18, Schlichter was transported from Colorado to a Franklin County (Ohio) jail where he is quarantined for 14 days. He will take a COVID-19 test and, if negative, be taken to an Ohio penitentiary.
