                        Chad Johnson Released From Jail After Apologizing To Judge



Chad Johnson apologized today for disrespecting a judge when the former NFL star slapped his attorney on the booty in court last week, with the judge ordering his immediate release from jail.
Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh accepted Johnson’s apology and cut his 30-day jail term for a probation violation to the seven days he has already served since the butt-slapping incident.

Johnson told Judge McHugh, “I just wanted to apologize for disrespecting the court last time. I apologize. I did have time to reflect on the mistakes I made in this courtroom.”
McHugh noted that in a previous hearing Johnson had put his arm around a female prosecutor’s shoulders, prompting the prosecutor to tell him twice not to touch her. The judge also pointed out that when Johnson head-butted his then-wife, Evelyn Lozada of the reality TV show “Basketball Wives,” she suffered a 3-inch gash on her head that required eight stitches. The judge called those injuries horrific.

McHugh told Chad Johnson that he failed to appreciate “the gift of probation” after pleading no contest to battery in the altercation last August with Lozada. Johnson, 35, was in court because he had failed to meet with his probation officer for three straight months.
“I find that’s an arrogant disregard for a court order,” the judge said.

McHugh ordered Johnson to perform 25 hours of community service and attend domestic violence counseling sessions twice a week during probation. She also extended his probation an extra three months until mid-October. ,
Chad’s attorney, Adam Sickle, said his client will fully comply with all probation conditions and hopes to resurrect his NFL career.

“He understands that this is the kind of situation that can derail a person’s career,” Swickle said. “We’re very confident he will do what he should do.”

Terrell Owens visited Johnson in jail on Saturday and tweeted that his former teammate was in “good spirits.”

“I really didn’t know what to expect but to see the homie locked up is a very humbling experience, to talk to him via vid conference let me know that’s not where anyone wants to be,” Owens wrote. “I know he’s only in the county jail but to someone that has never been locked up…Jail is Jail!”
