Titus Young begins clearing up his legal docket
Posted by Mike Florio on March 1, 2014

Not much has been heard from or about former Lions receiver Titus Young in recent months, which is a good thing.

Last year, Young became a one-man crime spree, with multiple incidents and genuine concerns about whether he needed professional assistance. According to the Riverside (Cal.) Press-Enterprise, Young has commenced the process of getting his legal affairs in order.

He pleaded guilty on Friday to one count of disturbing the peace as a result of two arrests occurring on the same day in May 2013. First, he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Second, he was arrested for trying to retrieve his impounded car by climbing a fence and taking it.

Young received no jail time or fine; he must pay a $35 court fee.

Young still has 11 other pending charges, including four felony burglary counts. He’s due back in court on March 20.

A second-round pick in 2011, he was waived after two tumultuous seasons. The Rams claimed him on waivers and quickly cut him loose. Young has been out of football ever since.

Titus Young in hospital, criminal case delayed

It has been almost a year since former Lions wide receiver Titus Young went on an alleged crime spree that ended with him facing 11 charges, but his trial on those counts has been delayed again.

Young’s attorney Brian Hurwitz made an appearance at a California courtroom for a pre-trial hearing that had to be delayed when Hurwitz told the court that his client was in the hospital. There were no specifics about why Young was being treated, but he has been treated for a mental disorder in the past.

“He’s receiving treatment and is in a safe place,” Hurwitz said, via USA Today.

Young is now due back in court on June 5, although his attorney said he hopes he’s able to reach a plea bargain with prosecutors in order to avoid a trial. Young pleaded guilty to one count of disturbing the peace last month as a result of two arrests on the same day in 2013. Those arrests came just before the arrest that led to the 11 charges, including four felonies, that Young will face after completing his treatment.

A LIFE going to waste,I can imagine how hard it is to convince the kid he's his own worst enemy.
Mirrors the situation with alcoholics and addicts. The mind is a fragile thing.
