Illinois' Leron Black gets probation for threatening bouncer
Apr 21, 2016 - 11:22 PM URBANA, Ill. (AP) Illinois basketball player Leron Black has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor aggravated assault after threatening a bouncer at a campus bar and has been sentenced to a year of probation.Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz said Thursday plea that Black was a candidate for probation because he took responsibility for the crime and had no prior record. The 20-year-old Black avoided jail time and the felony assault charge he faced after his Feb. 19 arrest.
Coach John Groce suspended Black after the arrest. Team spokesman Derrick Burson said Black's status has not changed.
Black is one of three Illini players arrested this year.
Juniors Jaylon Tate and Kendrick Nunn have both pleaded not guilty to domestic assault charges stemming from separate incidents in March.
