Former CU football coach Joe Tumpkin gets jail and probation

On Thursday afternoon former Buffs assistant football coach Joe Tumpkin walked into a courtroom in Broomfield to hear the sentencing regarding his domestic violence case with former girlfriend Pamela Fine. The judge ordered Tumpkin to 30 days in jail and 30 months probation.

According to Daily Camera reporter Mitchell Byars, the judge will allow Tumpkin’s jail time to be work release, and gave Tumpkin a 10-day delay so he could arrange his work. Tumpkin did not comment on the sentence as he left the courtroom.

This case began when Fine alleged that Tumpkin assaulted her more than 100 times when they were dating from February 2015 to November 2016.
