Breaking News: Ahmad Bradshaw jailed

Bradshaw, 22, is serving a sentence at the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail.

A spokesman for the jail told PA SportsTicker that said Bradshaw voluntarily checked himself into the facility Sunday. He also said Bradshaw will “serve a certain amount of time.”

Bradshaw was sentenced to two years probation in 2006 for a misdemeanor petty larceny charge while attending Marshall University. He was charged with stealing a PlayStation game from another student.

As a rookie last season, Bradshaw played in 12 games for the Super Bowl champion Giants, rushing for 190 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.

statement from the Giants

The Giants issued the following statement: “We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with Ahmad’s legal representative. This situation is not the result of any recent incident. It stems from an issue that occurred prior to Ahmad being drafted by the Giants. Beyond that, we have no further comment.”

This looks to me like he is taking care of old business, and working to get his record cleaned up.

If it was new trouble, or the basis of a recent activity, I would be concerned, but I put this in the category of paying old bills.
