The wide receiver, Rae Carruth, pulls his car past his girlfriend Cherica Adams and the woman carrying her child so she can`t move, according to the Bleacher Report. Another car stops next to Cherica and she is shot four times. Carruth received “an 18 to 24 year prison sentence for his involvement in the crime.” Her son, Chancellor Lee, was “born prematurely and suffers from cerebral palsy and permanent brain damage due to his traumatic birth,” the Charlotte Observer said. He is 18 years old and lives with his grandmother. Release from Rae Carruth Prison is scheduled for October 22, 2018. The most notorious player in the NFL ever charged with a crime must be O.J. Simpson. In fact, Simpson became so notorious for his crimes that many people forget he was a Hall of Fame running back and broke many NFL records. A former Heisman Trophy winner in college, Simpson was the first NFL player to run for more than 2,000 yards in a season. Unfortunately, his achievements on the grid were overshadowed by his alleged criminal acts. In 1994, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and boyfriend Ronald Goldman. After what became known as the “trial of the century,” Simpson was acquitted of these charges (although he was found responsible in a civil trial).
However, in September 2007, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas and charged with numerous crimes, including armed robbery and kidnapping, after stealing memorabilia selling his old football memorabilia. In 2008, Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison, with a minimum of nine years without parole. Simpson is currently serving his sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada, where he apparently still signs football memorabilia from his jail cell to earn extra money.

We can`t control who other teams bring, but the Raiders can control character. It`s not always going to be a guarantee that guys will be on the right path,” Cofield said. But you just can`t take advantage of the opportunity here, because there are too many things that can go wrong and it`s a black eye for the city. I don`t think it`s a black eye we deserve because the rest of us coexist here and most of us can avoid trouble with the law. Athletes who come to town really have to stick together.
Michael Vick, a former quarterback, is convicted of funding, promoting and facilitating a dogfighting ring. “Dogs that did not live up to expectations were electrocuted, hanged, drowned and other violent means killed by the dogfighting ring,” ESPN said. For his actions, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison. The NFL suspended Vick without pay and he lost endorsement contracts. A two-time Super Bowl champion, Ray Lewis had a storybook career in the NFL. But the former Baltimore Ravens linebacker lost almost everything when he was charged with a double murder and tried for murder — looking at the death penalty in the process. After a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta on January 31, 2000, an argument broke out between Lewis and some of his friends and another group of people that led to the stabbing deaths of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar. Eleven days after the incident, Lewis was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault. A white suit Lewis wore on the night of the murders has never been found. Two weeks into the trial, Lewis` lawyers negotiated a settlement with the district attorney dismissing the murder charge in exchange for Lewis` testimony against two of his friends who were with him that night. The friends were later acquitted and no other suspects were ever arrested for the murders. Lewis was able to resume his career, winning a second Super Bowl with Baltimore in 2013 before retiring after a Hall of Famer-worthy career.
On average, according to NFL arrests, a football player is arrested every seven days in the NFL. The longest period of time the NFL has gone without a player being arrested is 65 days. The most common arrests are for drunk driving, drugs, domestic violence, assaults and public disorder. However, it`s important to keep in mind that there are nearly 2,000 players in the NFL.
