Former NFL receiver Titus Young was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of felony battery causing serious bodily injury, according to TMZ Sports.

Young was arrested in February 2016 after getting into a fight with his neighbor in Los Angeles on Jan. 30 of that year. He left a court-ordered facility before assaulting the man, according to those reports.

He's been in a county jail since August, according to court records obtained by TMZ Sports.

Young, who spent two seasons with the Detroit Lions, has a long history of legal issues.
