Former Clemson football player Jadar Johnson pleaded guilty to the robbery of a former teammate’s off-campus apartment and was sentenced to probation, according to court records and his attorney.
Johnson pleaded guilty last week to a charge of common law robbery, after a judge dismissed the armed robbery and weapon charges, according to his attorney, Bakari Sellers. Johnson faced up to 30 years in prison on the armed robbery charge and 10 years on the weapon charge.
The judge sentenced Johnson under the state’s Youthful Offender Act, a sentencing alternative that seeks to rehabilitate young offenders convicted of certain offenses.
