Jacob Nix this week pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal trespassing following his October arrest for attempting to crawl through a doggy door of a home near the Padres’ spring training complex in Peoria, Ariz.
Nix received 18 months of probation as part of a plea agreement. The 24-year-old pitcher also agreed to participate in alcohol counseling, submit to random alcohol testing and pay just under $3,000 in restitution.
According to the arrest report, Nix “was too intoxicated” to explain why he attempted to enter a home through a doggy door shortly before 4 a.m. after a night out in Scottsdale with fellow Padres minor league pitcher Tom Cosgrove.
