Video Surfaces Of Adrien Broner Assault And Robbery (Video)

Video has surfaced online of boxer Adrien Broner engaging in assault and robbery for which he was arrested in March 2016. The victim in the case alleged Broner punched him in the chin twice, splitting it open, which required 60 stitches, after a night of betting on bowling games went wrong. After Broner punched the man, he took back his money from the betting losses and $2,000 of the victim's money. He has sued Broner and filed a complaint with the police. Prosecutors filed charges and arrested Broner in April 2016. Broner is free on bail pending trial.

The only problem with the video is it's so grainy you can't make out anyone on the tape to obtain a positive identification. In that sense, it is useless. Voices are heard on the tape and one of them is definitely Broner, who sounds very agitated. Another voice is heard on the tape saying "chill A.B." which is Broner's initials and one of his nicknames.

Boxer Adrien Broner Facing 3-10 Years In Jail Over Assault And Robbery Due To Gambling Incident

In the April 13, 2016 Judiciary Report article "Adrien Broner Arrested And Jailed For Probation Violation And Trouble Strikes In His Personal Life With Claims He Cheated On His Fiancée" the site implored troubled boxer Adrien Broner to "throw yourself on the mercy of the court" regarding an assault and robbery incident that took place while he was gambling outside a bowling alley in Madisonville, Ohio and inflicted grievous bodily injury on a man at gunpoint. The next day, April 14, 2016, prosecutors in his home state of Ohio formally indicted Broner and he faces 3-10 years in jail, on charges of aggravated robbery as well as felonious assault and robbery. 

The charges Broner faces is serious. Cincinnati.com is reporting that a special prosecutor, Michael Tranter, has been appointed to the case in Hamilton County. The judge presiding over the case is Robert Ruehlman. Broner is currently in jail on a probation violation stemming from an unrelated case for driving under the influence, then engaging in reckless driving months later. Broner was given 6-months probation on July 25, 2016. He was arrested again on January 21, 2016 for the aforementioned assault. The cases appear to have overlapped. However, prosecutors are keeping the cases separate, which is beneficial to Broner.

As stated in the April 7, 2016 Judiciary Report article "Boxer Adrien Broner Pleads Not Guilty To Assault And Robbery" Broner needs to make peace with the victim and pay compensation (the victim has filed a lawsuit against Broner over the assault). The court may have more mercy on him if he does so. Broner's pride got him into trouble. He is a millionaire and is facing serious charges over losing $10,000 in a gambling incident. His legal fees will total far more than that in relation to this matter. 

It's a shame it has come to this. Since 2014 the Judiciary Report has been running a series of articles on Broner, which implored him to changes his ways, lest he ended up in serious trouble [How To Reap The Benefits Of Boxing While Avoiding The Pitfalls and Floyd Mayweather Tells Adrien Broner To Quit Partying And Making So Much Music (Video) and Boxer Adrien Broner Has Been Suspended By The WBC For Racist Remarks About Fellow Pugilist Carlos Molina]. However, young and famous stars sometimes have to figure out things the difficult way in life, via consequences of unwise choices that could have been avoided.

Special prosecutor to handle Adrien Broner case

7:37 p.m. EDT April 14, 2016 - A special prosecutor has been appointed to handle the case against local boxer Adrien Broner, who is accused of knocking a man unconscious and then robbing him outside a Madisonville bowling alley. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he requested a special prosecutor because one of his friends, described by officials as a businessman, has tried to be a mentor to Broner. 

“He’s just a very good friend of mine,” said Deters, who declined to name the man. Deters said he wanted to avoid any perception of impropriety. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman on Thursday appointed Cincinnati-based attorney, Michael Tranter, to handle the case. Also Thursday, Broner, 26, was formally indicted on robbery and felonious assault charges. 

Court documents say Broner on Jan. 21 pointed a handgun at a West Chester man during a betting dispute, knocked him unconscious and robbed him of $10,000. The incident has also led to a lawsuit against Broner, who lives in Westwood, according to court records...

Former Subway Restaurant Spokesperson Jared Fogle Sentenced to 15-Years In Prison For Pedophilia


Jared Fogle

Former Subway restaurant spokesperson, Jared Fogle, whose claim to fame was losing weight eating sandwiches from the famed restaurant chain, has been convicted of having sex with minors and possessing child porn. Fogle was charged with, "Traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and distribution and receipt of child pornography."

Fogle, who initially denied all the charges until he saw the sweeping evidence against him, pled guilty and has now been sentenced to 15-years in prison for these serious offenses. This exceeds the government's request of 12-years. This is likely due to the fact members of the public flooded the chambers of Judge Tanya Walton Pratt with letters demanding she not be lenient in sentencing, for the safety of children in the community. Hopefully, Fogle will serve his full sentence and not be granted parole under early release, as his sex crimes have significantly damaged innocent children.

By Sarah Larimer November 19 at 3:40 PM -  Fogle faced two counts: traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, and distribution and receipt of child pornography. “How do you plead to the charges?” U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt asked Fogle on Thursday at the federal courthouse in Indianapolis, according to the Indianapolis Star. “Guilty,” Fogle replied.

Pratt sentenced him to 15 years and eight months behind bars, according to the Associated Press.

Some of Fogle’s family members in the courtroom started crying and hugging each other when he ordered taken into immediate custody.

“Members of my family are also victims of my acts,” Fogle said before noting that his wife will be a single mother...“You gave your wife $7 million, so she’ll be OK,” the judge said, interrupting...
