Atlanta Falcons’ edge rusher James Pearce har indgået en aftale med anklagemyndigheden om at deltage i et seks måneders forebyggelsesprogram. Dermed undgår han en retssag for flere alvorlige forbrydelser, herunder grov vold med farligt våben, flugt fra politiet og modstand mod politiet med vold. Aftalen blev indgået under en videohøring i en Miami-Dade-domstol.
Ifølge en rapport fra ESPN var Pearces advokat, Yale Sanford, i forhandlinger med anklagemyndigheden om vilkårene for programmet. Som en del af aftalen skal Pearce gennemføre terapisessioner i løbet af de seks måneder og overholde et kontaktforbud over for sin tidligere kæreste. Hvis han overholder betingelserne, vil anklagerne blive frafaldet.
Pearce blev oprindeligt sigtet for:
- Grov vold med farligt våben
- Flugt fra politiet
- Modstand mod politiet med vold
- Mindre forseelse: stalking
Den amerikanske fodboldliga NFL har endnu ikke truffet beslutning om eventuelle disciplinære foranstaltninger i sagen. Ligaen oplyser, at sagen fortsat er under vurdering i henhold til Personal Conduct Policy.
