Former University of South Florida reserve offensive lineman Benjamin Knox has received five years of probation as part of a plea deal for firing a gun on campus last October.
He had been accused of firing the gun at a dorm from a parking garage on Oct. 11, 2015. Police say they found spent shell casings on the ground and an open gun case and ammunition inside a vehicle belonging to Knox. According to police, the shots appeared to have been fired randomly. No one was injured.
Officers say they found a gun when they arrested Knox at his dorm.
