A2: Crime

By

The Detroit News reports that former UM cornerback Boubacar Cissoko has been sentenced to anywhere from 19 months to 15 years in prison. Cissoko admitted in June to stealing money from people in Ann Arbor and from a cab driver in Ypsilanti. Having violated team rules, Cissoko was kicked off the team in October, an event he cites as the reason for his crimes. “All I wanted to do was just play football, and then I couldn’t do it,” Cissoko explained to Judge Archie Brown of the Washtenaw Circuit Court. “But, no excuses, your honor. I take responsibility for what I did. It was wrong.” [Source]
