Because a 5-pound dog bit a 254-pound former NFL linebacker, he was able to get by on misdemeanor charges for killing it.
According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, felony charges against former Falcons linebacker Prince Shembo were dropped after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and paid a $1,000 fine.
“Now that this matter is settled,” agent Adisa Bakari said, “we are excited to see if he can resume his career in the NFL.”
The Falcons cut Shembo, a former fourth-round pick, shortly after he was arrested for killing his ex-girlfriend’s Yorkie named Dior.
