A judge has found Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain guilty on all charges in his trial in Decatur Municipal Court. His charges include assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. He has been sentenced to 180 days in jail.
All of the charges are misdemeanors.
McClain is charged in an attack from November 2011 against Rishard Tapscott.
He got a surprise this morning when co-defendant, Jaradious Willingham, pleaded guilty shortly before the start of the trial. He also agreed to testify in McClain’s trial.
Willingham pleaded guilty to third-degree assault. Municipal Judge Billy Cook sentenced him to 90 days in jail. Willingham must also pay about $300 in fines.
McClain played football for Decatur High School, then the University of Alabama. In this matter, he is charged with assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, and wrongful discharge of a firearm. He also face charges related to a traffic violation in May 2011.
Imagine that, an NFL linebacker menacing,threatening and intimidating?
Let’s just not forget what our D looked like last year when he was out of the line-up.
