Ex-Lion Titus Young Avoids Prison, Receives 5 Years Probation

Titus Young will not face prison time for felony assault charges, stemming from his strange, violent behavior in 2013. Instead, the Los Angeles County Superior Court has given him a chance to change his ways, giving him five years probation, rather than lock him up.

According to David Leon Moore of USA TODAY Sports, a one-year stay at Crosby Center, an inpatient treatment and therapy facility, is part of the bargain as well.

Young has already resided for three months at the Crosby Center, a substance abuse rehab center and mental health facility, as a result of a previous Orange County probation agreement.
