Former NFL running back Frank Gore agreed to a guilty plea to settle criminal charges he faced after being arrested last year.
TMZ reported Gore pleaded guilty to violating the public health nuisance code and was ordered to pay fines and court fees totaling around $2,000 as a result. He also had a false imprisonment charge dismissed.
On August 9th, poilice in Atlantic city announced Gore was charged with simple assault. The charge came after police responded to a domestic violence dispute at a casino.
The unnamed 28-year-old woman was talking to hotel security when police arrived at the scene. She didn’t show any signs of injury, and no complaint was filed at the time. Court documents obtained by TMZ alleged Gore “forcibly” grabbed the woman by the hair and “violently dragging her nude person along the floor of the 59th hallway.”
Gore played 16 seasons in the NFL. He retired in 2022, but last played in 2020. The five-time Pro Bowler signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
The third-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2005 has since become a professional boxer. He has a 2-0 record as a heavyweight.
