Stefon and Trevon Diggs’ brother, Darez Diggs, has been sentenced to two years of probation for his role in a violent elevator attack in Los Angeles last year.
On Sunday, sports reported that the former XFL player received the punishment from the Los Angeles courtroom on March 27. Diggs reportedly reached a deal with prosecutors and pleaded no contest to a felony charge of grand larceny from the victim, Christopher Griffith.
Officials dropped another felony theft charge that Diggs had faced as part of the deal.
Additionally, he was ordered to complete 20 hours of community service.
CCTV footage from an apartment building in Los Angeles showed Diggs appearing to orchestrate the attack with two other men.
Darez Diggs has been sentenced to two years’ probation for last year’s elevator attack
Diggs was caught on camera appearing to instigate a brutal attack on a man in the elevator.
Two men entered the elevator and began repeatedly punching the victim.
Footage shows Diggs reaching in as the elevator door closes before apparently ordering the other two to punch Griffith.
The pair knocked Griffith to the floor, one of them kicking him in the head while he was grounded, before dragging him out of the lift and taking his jewelery amid a verbal exchange.
Griffith sued Diggs, claiming the incident left him with pain, suffering and emotional distress.
Griffith also sued Diggs for $100,000 in jewelry and other property he claimed he had on him during the attack. The civil case remains ongoing.
Diggs has yet to comment publicly on the matter. However, he seemed to be in good spirits while working at Stefon’s youth football camp at the University of Maryland weeks later.
