Lions rookie offensive lineman and first-round pick Gosder Cherilus was ordered Wednesday to serve one year of pretrial probation for his role in a Boston bar brawl in which a patron was seriously injured, the Boston Globe reported. Cherilus also was ordered to pay the victim $52,000 toward his medical bills. Cherilus and teammate DeJuan Tribble, stars at Boston College, were celebrating Cherilus' 3rd birthday with teammates at a bar last July when they intervened in a confrontation between a patron, Sean Maney, and a State Police sergeant, Joseph Boike, a part-owner of the place. Maney testified in Boston Municipal Court that Cherilus grabbed him in a two-arm choke hold and dragged him across the room while Boike and Tribble repeatedly punched him, according to the Boston Globe. Maney testified that he and Cherilus slammed into a table, that he lapsed in and out of consciousness, that Cherilus and Tribble kicked him, and that he suffered a spinal injury that required surgery.

"Cherilus and teammate DeJuan Tribble, stars at Boston College, were celebrating Cherilus' 3rd birthday", underage drinking accounts for yet another outbreak of unnecessary violence. When will we learn?

That's far too young to be picking a fight. He should hold off from that stuff until he's at least 7 or 8 years of age.

Just glad I am not a lions fan. Do they do any background check on these guys before they draft them? This happened a year ago...They would do better to just put 200 names on a board and throw a dart...

Yeah but the only players on the board are wide receivers.

Does the full article say anything about the punishment the cop received?
