Sapp Cops Plea, Spared Jail
October 2nd, 2015
Avoids jail.
Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp, one of three Bucs players to have his number retired, took a plea deal from Nevada authorities yesterday over a hassle with his former girlfriend which saw him pinched earlier this year.
Per the Associated Press, Sapp must keep his nose clean for a period of time and do community service so he doesn’t get locked up in a Nevada cage.
The 42-year-old former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders defensive tackle pleaded no contest in Las Vegas Justice Court to one misdemeanor domestic violence charge, court officials said.
A judge fined Sapp $345 and ordered him to pay $2,555 in restitution, log 48 hours of community service and six months of counseling, and stay out of trouble for six months. Two other misdemeanor domestic violence charges were dismissed.
Sapp also has to stay away from the victim, prosecutor Lisa Luzaich said. He faces six months in jail if he violates terms of the deal.
This is good news. The last thing Joe wants to see from a Bucs great is him tumble out of control. Hopefully, the counseling Sapp gets will help.

Warren,
Remember that every new day is an opportunity to start a new chapter in life.
Whether you like it or not, you are a role model. You have children.

Mr. Sapp meet Miss Karma! You can’t go through life treating people like crap and not expect it to come back and bite you in the a$$. Everything always comes full circle! Just eat that slice of humble pie & hope you come back strong with a new outlook on life.

I don’t think Sapp did anything wrong. The whores solicited him because of his name and then tried to extort him. Creepy bitches.
