According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has reached a deal to end two of his pending criminal cases. Clark County District Attorney David Roger confirmed to the paper that Mayweather will enter guilty pleas in Las Vegas Justice Court on Wednesday to one count of battery domestic violence and two counts of harassment, all misdemeanors.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors will retain the right to argue for sentencing conditions, Roger said. Mayweather, 34, faces $3,000 in fines and at least two days or up to 18 months in jail. Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa is expected to sentence Mayweather on Wednesday.
Mayweather was facing felony charges, including coercion, grand larceny and robbery, in connection with a Sept. 9, 2010, incident with his three children and their mother, Josie Harris. He is free on $31,000 bail in that case. Mayweather was accused of assaulting Harris after she told him she was dating another man, according to a Las Vegas police report. Mayweather's ten-year-old son gave a statement to police that he witnessed the boxer "on his mother and was hitting and kicking her."
Meanwhile, prosecutors said Mayweather next week will plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of battery and pay a $1,000 fine for poking and verbally abusing a security guard over parking issues in November 2010.
