Former NFL running back Roosevelt Potts received a two-year suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of domestic violence in Indiana.

TMZ Sports reported the news Thursday.

Potts, 46, "was found guilty of domestic battery by means of a deadly weapon" after he slashed a woman with a knife during a 2016 dispute. The woman said Potts cut her after she had attempted to slash his tires with a knife, and he grabbed a knife of his own.

A judge ruled Potts' sentence will remain suspended provided he completes an 18-month probation program.
