MIAMI (AP)—Former NFL lineman Barret Robbins has been sentenced to five
years in Florida prison for a drug-related probation violation.
A Miami-Dade County judge imposed the sentence Friday, more than a year
after crack cocaine was found in Robbins’ car after a traffic stop near Dallas.
Robbins had been on probation for a 2005 fracas in Miami Beach during which
he fought with police officers and was shot and wounded. Court documents say he
suffers from bipolar disorder.
Robbins was a Pro Bowl center for the Oakland Raiders, playing a total of
nine seasons. He didn’t play in the 2003 Super Bowl against Tampa Bay after
disappearing several days before the game and then showing up incoherent the
night before.
The Raiders released him in 2004 for steroid use.
