On April 1, 1999, (April Fool's day), Morrison pled guilty to three traffic misdemeanors (DUI), etc. This was from a 1998 arrest.
The judged (Kyle
Haskins), gave Morrison a two-year, 10-day
probation with no jail time required in
September 1999, but warned Morrison any
violation of the law could be grounds for
revocation of his probation. It didn't
take "Bad Boy Boxer" but ONE week, to mess up
again...
Morrison was arrested in Fayetteville, Arkansas,
on drug/weapon possession. Morrison pled
guilty and went in the slammer for a couple of
years, and had an eight-year probation (Jan
2000).
Morrison earned his freedom from the Little Rock's Central Arkansas Community Punishment Center on Feb. 28, 2001.
