Davis pleads guilty for theft
Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin wide receiver Nick Davis was
suspended Friday for the Sun Bowl after pleading guilty to stealing
a television from an electronics store.
After entering into a plea agreement with prosecutors, Davis was
found guilty of misdemeanor retail theft in Dane County Circuit
Court and placed on probation for two years. He also must pay a
$3,800 fine, according to Dane County District Attorney Brian
Brophy.
Davis, 21, was originally charged Monday with felony retail
theft after a friend allegedly helped him steal a $4,000 television
from Best Buy. That charge carries a possible $10,000 fine and up
to 15 years in prison.
Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez said Davis, a junior, will remain
on scholarship and will continue to play for the Badgers.
In a statement released Friday evening, Alvarez said he felt it
was "appropriate" to suspend Davis for the bowl game against UCLA
Dec. 29.
