Chaisson Agrees to Plea Deal to Drop Felony Charges
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Felony charges against Justin Chaisson could drop to misdemeanors: Former Bishop Gorman football standout Justin Chaisson is one step closer to pursuing his gridiron dreams at the University of Oklahoma. Chaisson pleaded no contest Wednesday to one count of misdemeanor coercion and one count of misdemeanor domestic battery stemming from an alleged attack on his ex-girlfriend, during which Chaisson allegedly threatened to kill the young woman with a screwdriver after violently forcing her into his car. Judge Melissa Saragosa of Las Vegas Justice Court Department 4 sentenced Chaisson to one year of domestic violence counseling. Chaisson, who also faces three felony charges from the screwdriver incident, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning and will proceed straight to the Eighth Judicial District Court. If Judge Miley accepts Chaisson's misdemeanor pleas, then all of the felony charges will be dropped. (Las Vegas Sun)

If they allowed Josh Jarboe on the team I don't see why not allow Chaisson. After all, what's more serious.. Bringing a gun on school campus? Or beating up your g/f?
