ORLANDO, Fla. – Former NFL player Zac Stacy will spend a year on probation for the November 2021 attack on his ex-girlfriend, a judge ruled Monday. The sentence is part of a plea deal Stacy agreed to earlier this month.
Stacy pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal mischief, court records show. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors will drop battery charges as long as Stacy follows certain conditions, including no contact with the victim.

Stacy also must continue not to have any contact with the victim or her family, pay $748 in restitution to the victim, and must pay court costs.
The ex-NFL player was arrested at Orlando International Airport in November 2021 on an aggravated battery warrant after attacking his ex-girlfriend, who is the mother of their shared child.

The woman told officers that Stacy had been at the home earlier to see their 5-month-old son. At some point, Stacy and the woman began to argue, which led to Stacy physically attacking the woman, police said.
Security video from inside the home shows Stacy strike the woman multiple times and throw her into a television and onto the floor, police said. Investigators noted in the report that the woman tried to remain calm throughout the attack but pleaded with Stacy to stop.
