Man gets probation for pawning Gronk's coins

DEDHAM, Mass. -- A man who pawned rare coins stolen from Rob Gronkowski's home while the now-retired New England Patriots tight end was away to play in the Super Bowl has been placed on two years of probation.

Norfolk District Attorney's Office spokesman David Traub says Eric Tyrrell, of Foxborough, was sentenced last week after pleading guilty to two counts of receiving stolen property.

Tyrrell was also ordered to stay away from Gronkowski's home and from the victim, who was Gronkowski's housemate.

Tyrrell was not charged with participating in the Feb. 4, 2018, break-in.
