MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - A former University of Memphis Tigers basketball player pleaded guilty to DUI and assault in a crash that seriously injured another man.

Jeremy Hunt received a two-year suspended sentence for pleading guilty to Reckless Aggravated Assault and will pay a $500 fine.

For the DUI, Hunt was sentenced to five days behind bars, and ordered to anger management training, MADD lectures and 24 hours of litter pickup, plus a $650 fine.

The charges stem from a crash in October 2011 on Union Avenue.

Hunt still faces domestic violence charges in a separate case.

Good luck on that ever happening. It won't! Judges, prosecutors, and the district attorney will let these fools out crime after crime with a slap in the wrist. Some will even have several arrests on different charges while still going to court on a previous violent crime. If it was me, they would have revoked my bond and then give me 15+ years for looking at someone the wrong way! Memphis is going down the drain....quickly!

That boy, Hunt,needs to spend some time in the Penile Farm....fighting on Beale St. when he was on the team & all that, oh yea, the incident when he had a "bone slip out of place" in his hand & couldn't play..... Oh well, I guess if you play basketball you get a free ride, which sets a dreadful example for the youth in this community! The prosecuter & judge who went along with this charade need to be exposed & forced out of office! Outrageous!
