New England Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 24 months of probation Thursday after he was found guilty last month of assaulting a police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest, according to The Boston Globe. Dennard's jail stay will begin March 1, 2014, meaning the second-year cornerback will be available for training camp. The former Nebraska standout will receive credit for the three days he already has served behind bars, but must perform 100 hours of "law-enforcement related" community service, the newspaper reported. Judge Stephanie Stacy said she would consider a motion aimed at shortening or eliminating Dennard's jail term if he follows all of the conditions of his sentencing. Source: NFL.com
Sometimes I wish we didn't know the sentences set upon famous people (athletes and actors). Because every single freaking time you get the bad taste in your mouth thinking they'd get a bigger one if they weren't famous. 30 days for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. Wow.
