A once-promising NFL player who dominated at the college level, Montee Ball is now heading to jail.
Ball pleaded guilty on Thursday to two charges of disorderly conduct and one charge of battery stemming from his involvement in two separate domestic abuse incidents with two different women. The 25-year-old was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 18 months probation, according to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.
In February, Ball was charged with battery and disorderly conduct after his girlfriend told police the former Denver Bronco threw her across the room during an argument and struck her in the face during a previous incident. Just over a month later, Ball was charged with strangulation and suffocation and substantial battery — both felonies — after his ex-girlfriend said she had also been assaulted back in 2014.
Ball was most recently with the New England Patriots as a practice squad player but was released over the winter following his arrest.
