Since there wasn’t some poor deer to blame this time, Brandon Spikes went through with a plea deal Wednesday.
According to WBZ Radio, the former Patriots and Bills linebacker pleaded guilty to leaving scene of his recent car crash, and received a fine, a year of probation, and lost his license. He’ll also have to attend a driver’s safety class.
He also cost himself a job, as the Patriots promptly cut him after the incident. Spikes was charged with hitting another car and abandoning his vehicle on the side of I-495 near Gillette Stadium, but cops said he told an OnStar operator that he had hit a deer and not the Nissan which was found damaged a short distance away.
