According to reports by the Associated Press, Washington Redskins defensive end, Erasmus James, who used to play with the Minnesota Vikings, pleaded guilty to a charge of battery and was ordered to enter offender program for observation before local judge makes his final sentence.
Coming from Wisconsin, James was picked by the Vikings in 2005 as a first-round pick. During the three seasons of playing football in Vikings jersey, James had a total of 28 tackles and 5 sacks for 30 yards. He was traded to the Redskins in 2008 but did not play in 2009.
The case involving James is about a bar fight that happened in last November. According to records from the police, James was angered because a bartender refused to offer service as James and his friend arrived after closing time. The argue turned to be fight and the bartender punched one of James’ friend in face. James was arrested later and was charged with felony battery and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
The charge for disorderly conduct was dropped on Tuesday, and instead, the prosecutors charged him with battery. As a result, Dane County Circuit Judge William E. Hanrahan delayed the sentencing and ordered James to take part in the county’s first offender program instead.
