Former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Trevone Boykin pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of aggravated assault and witness tampering and was sentenced to three years in prison.
The Associated Press reported the news. The charges dated back to March 2018 when Boykin's girlfriend, Shabrika Bailey, said he broke her jaw in two different places. Despite the three-year sentence, Boykin's attorney said he believes the former quarterback will be eligible for parole within a year.
Boykin has been in a county jail in Fort Worth, Texas, since December.
