NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The Latest on the federal drug and sexual assault case against two co-defendants of former NFL star Darren Sharper (all times local):

11 a.m.

A co-defendant in the drug and sexual assault case that brought down former NFL star Darren Sharper has reached a plea deal.

Former restaurant worker Erik Nunez has agreed to enter a guilty plea in the case. That leaves one more defendant, former St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Deputy Brandon Licciardi (lih-CHAR'-dee), to face trial. Jury selection began Monday shortly after the plea bargain with Nunez was announced in federal court.
