Former New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas has received three years probation stemming for a June hit-and-run under a pre-trial agreement that was reached on Wednesday in Butte County Superior Court in California.
The New York Post reports that Rosas “pled no contest to reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a valid license.”
Rosas, 25, was ordered to pay fines and court fees, obey all laws and avoid alcohol if driving. He faced a maximum of 270 days in jail on those charges, but the judge imposed a “stayed” sentence of 30 days, according to [attorney Michael] Erpino. So, Rosas avoided jail time unless he violates probation.
The Giants released Rosas, a former Pro Bowler, in July just ahead of the start to training camp.
“We knew he had an issue with a previous DUI before, but he seemed to be doing well. He had a Pro Bowl year a couple years ago and is just a good person. It was very disappointing to see that happen,” Giants co-owner John Mara said in August.
General manager Dave Gettleman shared similar sentiments.
Although Rosas’ legal issues are now wrapped up, he could still face discipline from the league.
