Chad Johnson appeared before a judge in Broward County, FL on Monday, where he was placed under arrested after a warrant was issued for his arrest on May 7.
For 13 days, Johnson never tried to clear up the arrest warrant with his parole officer nor the court in Florida as it was reported that Johnson was in Pasadena, CA and planning a trip for the Dominican Republic for the Memorial Day holiday.
According to a report, Johnson could now be forced to serve a year in state prison for assaulting his ex-wife, last August.
Johnson was originally charged with a misdemeanor for his August 2012 arrest, but his 2000 incident involving him and his ex-girlfriend, at the time, could force authorities in Broward County to upgrade his current misdemeanor charge to a felony, which could send Johnson behind bars for 12 months.
Johnson alleged that his girlfriend [in 2000] was cheating on him and he slapped her. He pleaded no contest to assaulting the woman and days later he reported to Oregon State University to play college football. Johnson was sentenced to community service, which included cleaning graffiti. He completed the community service in 2002 and went on to play for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Johnson violated his parole, which he received after he was charged [with a misdemeanor] for allegedly head-butting his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada back in August 2012.
