Chad Johnson’s marriage to “Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada may be over, but the former NFL star’s legal woes don’t appear to be ending anytime soon. As we recently reported, a warrant for Chad Johnson’s arrest was issued last week due to a probation violation. According to reports, Chad missed two meetings with his probation officer and failed to register for domestic violence counseling, and it’s still not clear why he missed the scheduled meetings. Chad’s been pretty quiet on the situation, but it appears he was arrested this morning in Fort Lauderdale. Gossip Extra reports:
Former Miami Dolphins receiver Chad Johnson was arrested about 10:30 a.m. today in Fort Lauderdale when a court hearing at the Broward County courthouse didn’t turn out well for the out-of-work NFLer.
Johnson, 35, appeared before a judge with Adam Swickle, his attorney, this morning after an arrest warrant was issued earlier this month.
The baller is accused of violating the conditions of his one-year probation for allegedly roughing his ex-wife, reality TV star Evelyn Lozada, in 2012.
The judge just decided Johnson did wrong by not showing up for two visits with his probation officer and not registering for domestic violence counseling — and had him arrested by deputies on-the-spot.
The website also goes on to report that Chad is currently being held in Broward County lockup on no bail.
In related news, Chad also seems to be having some money issues as he recently requested for his child support payments to be drastically reduced due to “unemployment” reports TMZ.
SMH…
This is not going to end well.
Get it together Ocho Cinco!!!!!
Damn son.
Chad just needs to grow up. He will never play in the NFL again. Such a tragic story.
He really needs to get his sh-t together. Smh.
Chad seems like he just gave up on life. Sad.
He got with Evelyn and it ended up being one of the worst things he could have ever done in his life! Crazy!
Smh. He just keeps making bad decisions.
Chad is such a fool.
