Former NFL running back Zac Stacy has been sentenced to a jail term for an assault on his ex-girlfriend that was captured on camera.
According to WESH, an Orange County judge reportedly gave Stacy a six-month prison term and a year of probation. According to reports, Stacy pled guilty to two counts of criminal mischief. The battery charges were dropped as part of the agreement.
Throughout the course of a three-year NFL career from 2013 to 2015, Stacy played for the Rams and the Jets. Later, he participated in XFL and played for the Memphis Express.
Orlando police arrested Stacy after a video showed him hitting Kristin Evans (the mother of his kid) at her home.
According to an affidavit, the police said that Stacy “struck [her] on the right side of her head, and picked her up and threw her against the television, causing it to crack and fall over.”
“He continued yelling at her and striking her while she got up from the floor, and picked her up again and threw her into the baby’s bouncy chair,” the affidavit continued. “While she was still on the floor pleading for him to stop, he picked her up and body-slammed her onto a baby walker, causing the object to break.”
In his first statement to police, Stacy claimed that his ex-girlfriend had “staged” the video out of “bitterness” because he did not want to be in a committed relationship with her.
Stacy told the cops, “It’s unfortunate because I just got out of rehab for anxiety and depression like eight months ago. I dropped everything to come down here and support the mother of my child in her last trimester, and the baby. I let her know I wasn’t trying to be with her or nothing like that. This is a case of just bitterness. That’s why she did this. The whole assault thing. She staged it. She set me up.”
