Latest 3 Pleas Should End Case on Parking
The final three former UCLA players charged in the university’s handicapped-parking scandal pleaded no contest Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of illegally possessing a disabled parking placard.
With that, it appears the final chapter in the 3 1/2-month matter has been written.
Attorneys for Washington Redskin running back Skip Hicks, Kansas City Chief safety Larry Atkins, and former UCLA linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo entered the pleas before Municipal Judge Sam Ohta.
The three were ordered to pay $1,485 in fines and perform 204 hours of community service each.
Previously, 16 current or former UCLA players, including Chicago Bear quarterback Cade McNown--a first-team All-American last season--entered no contest pleas in Los Angeles Municipal Court.
The city attorney’s office brought charges against 14 current or former players alleged to be part of the disabled parking scam July 8, and five more were charged Sept. 13.
