Former Dallas LB Lockhart may have to stay in prison

Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Eugene Lockhart recently was arrested again, ten months after he was firstly arrested for being accused of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud along with aiding and abetting, and two months before he stands trial on Oct. 18. Since he violated the terms of his pre-trial release, he is now unavailable to freedom on bond.

This time the 49-year-old man was caught when he was having fun with a group of people wearing Michael Irvin jerseys. They seemed to be over-excited when policemen arrived and the officer doubted they were having drugs. Eugene and several other friends failed a drug test and were taken into federal custody on Friday morning. Because Lockhart was still waiting for his trial on his last crime, a hearing is needed to decide whether he should remain jailed during the waiting.

The former NFL player spent seven seasons with the Cowboys during the 1980s and used to stay with the team for a short while after retiring in 1990. He was released for off field troubles and remained out of football since then. He may face a two-year imprisonment if pleading guilty.
