Former NC State basketball star’s ‘bad run’ ends in prison sentence

Anthony Grundy, the former N.C. State basketball star who traveled the world playing professionally, was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to driving while impaired and violating the terms of his probation for previous drunken driving convictions.

Wake County District Court Judge Louis Meyer also ordered the former all-ACC performer to undergo alcohol abuse treatment while serving his sentence.

Grundy, 38, arrived in the United States last month from Ghana, West Africa, where he had been living for little more. He came to resolve a case where he had been charged with failing to appear in court six years ago for felony habitual impaired driving, five misdemeanor counts of failing to appear in court and two misdemeanor counts of probation violation.
