John Elway's son gets probation in domestic violence case
Jack Elway, the son of Broncos executive vice president of football operations and general manager John Elway, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation in the domestic violence case against him.
John Elway III, 24, was charged with disturbing the peace and assault in what police described as a violent fight with his girlfriend in May. Elway
ripped out pieces of the woman's hair when he pulled her out of his car and pushed her to the ground, according to a probable cause statement.
As part of a plea agreement, Elway pleaded guilty to the disturbing the peace charge and the Denver City Attorney's Office dropped the assault charge, according to court records.
Elway was sentenced to one year of probation as part of a deferred judgment. If he completes the year without any incidents Elway will be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea and the case will be dismissed.
The plea agreement was entered in Denver County Court on Tuesday. Elway
was scheduled to go to trial on the charges on Sept. 22.
Denver County Judge Johnny Barajas accepted the plea agreement. He also ordered Elway to pay fines and court costs and attend domestic violence counseling.
Elway cannot have contact with the victim.
Elway was
arrested at his father's Cherry Hills Village home on May 31. He later posted a $550 bond.
