A warrant has been issued for the arrest of former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson in Florida.
The warrant was issued May 7 in Broward County because Johnson violated several terms of his probation, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office. The BSO said Johnson failed to meet with probation specialists on Feb. 15 and March 15. Johnson also failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the "Batterers Intervention Program."

It’s been a very, very bad week for free-agent wideout Titus Young. Young was arrested twice in the span of 15 hours last weekend, a pretty phenomenal feat in a pretty phenomenally bad way. And now he’s been busted for allegedly doing something bad again.
Via the Detroit News, Young was arrested at 11:30 p.m. Friday and charged with breaking into a home in San Clemente, Calif. -- and apparently "wanted to fight with" sheriff’s deputies as well.
"There was a brief struggle," Lt. Joe Balicki of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department told the News. "He wanted to fight with the deputies. They ended up subduing him."
Young was charged with burglary, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and, according to the News, is still in jail while facing a $75,000 bond.
If you’re scoring at home, that’s three arrests in less than a week.

Idiot kicker and a cop abusing power...
Former San Francisco 49ers kicker Jose Cortez has been forced to resign as a member of the Oregon State Police and he has been sentenced to seven days in jail after pleading guilty to official misconduct on the job.
The Oregonian reports that Cortez, 37, is out of a job following an investigation into a March 1 traffic stop in which a woman, under suspicion of driving under the influence, accused Cortez of fondling her during questioning.
Cortez, who had been on the job for six years, will be on probation for a year and he has surrendered his state law enforcement credentials. Under a plea agreement, he was not charged with a sex crime.
Cortez, who played at Oregon State, bounced around the NFL from 1999 to 2005, kicking for seven different teams in the regular season. He made 23 of 32 field goal attempts in 2002 with the San Francisco 49ers and Washington Redskins.

The decision to cut Boley was solely a football decision, according to a source, and the Giants were not aware of any pending legal issues with Boley before releasing him.
The case was scheduled to go to a grand jury in February but Boley, 30, struck a plea deal with prosecutors, TMZ reported. Court officials in Etowah County, Ala. told TMZ Boley pled guilty to child abuse. Sources told TMZ the abuse was physical and not sexual in nature

On Saturday morning, LSU running back Jeremy Hill was arrested for simple battery after he and another man struck a 20-year-old victim multiple times – knocking the man unconscious – at a bar just off the Baton Rouge campus.
On Monday, Tiger head football coach Les Miles suspended his team’s leading returning rusher indefinitely.
Yesterday, the Baton Rouge Police Department’s report on the arrest went public. The report states that a cell phone video shows Hill punch the victim from behind. The video then shows the other assailant knock the victim unconscious with yet another blow from behind. At that point, Hill and the other man high-fived in celebration of their knockout.
Today, if video truly exists showing Hill beating another man and celebrating, the player should be removed from the LSU football team. P

This is the worse bust in a while. Just terrible.
A total of four Morehouse College athletes have been arrested and charged in connection with two separate sexual assaults.
Report of the incidents – and the possibility that one involved the illicit party drug, "Molly" – cast a cloud over a prestigious college set to host President Barack Obama as its graduation speaker later this month.
Three of the students were charged in an alleged on-campus incident prior to spring break. The fourth was charged in a different case off campus that was reported in March.
According to Fulton County Jail records, Chukwudi Ndudikwa, Malcolm Jamal Frank, Tevin Mgbo and Lucien Kidd were arrested last month.
Ndudikwa, Frank and Mgbo, all members of the school’s basketball team, were each arrested on April 11 for the incident that happened on Morehouse’s campus, according to incident reports.

Gregory J. McKee, a 20-year-old redshirt freshman at the time of his arrest last year, pleaded guilty to third-degree child pornography possession. Under terms of the deal, McKee will serve a year in prison, followed by four years of post-release supervision and must register as a sex offender.
Prosecutors said McKee uploaded multiple videos to a social networking site that appeared to show children ages 8 to 15 engaged in sex acts. Investigators who got a tip about the videos traced them to an Internet service provider and email McKee controlled, the Hartford (Conn.) Courant said Friday.
After obtaining a search warrant, police searched McKee's computer and found 96 still images and 26 videos constituting child porn.
McKee, an offensive tackle, never played a game for the Huskies. He has since left the school and returned to his native Chicago while he awaits sentencing, the Courant said.
