NFL free agent Terrelle Pryor and his girlfriend Shalaya Briston have both pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a stabbing that happened in 2019, according to TMZ.
“Court records show both Pryor and Briston cut plea deals with prosecutors to close out the cases Tuesday … and in exchange for guilty pleas to lesser charges, the 2 were each hit with probation.
In Pryor’s case … court records show he pled down from misdemeanor assault to harassment and got 90 days probation.
In Briston’s case … the docs show she pled down from felony aggravated assault to misdemeanor simple assault and got 2 years probation.”
It was back in November of last year when police responded to Heinz Lofts for a domestic disturbance call where they met with two callers who said that they had seen a large amount of blood in the elevator. Police were later notified that the stabbing victim, Pryor, had arrived at UPMC Mercy Hospital.
Briston had originally faced charges of attempted homicide and aggravated assault, both felonies. Briston was also arrested in 2020 for a domestic incident when she allegedly assaulted her mother, but those charges were withdrawn.
Pryor spent eight seasons in the NFL, starting out as a quarterback before moving to wide receiver. In 51 career games, he threw for 1,994 yards and nine touchdowns on 175 of 311 passing. He also caught 115 passes for 1,563 yards and seven touchdowns.
