NBA Great Ben Wallace Convicted
Former Detroit Piston and one time member of the Clevland Cavaliers Ben Wallace pleaded No Contest to leaving the scene of an accident. Wallace was sentenced to 1 year in jail with all but 2 days suspended which he completed on June 17.
Last month a SUV registered to Wallace slammed into a fence outside a home off Gaskins Rd. and Peppertree Dr. in Henrico’s West End. “It was dark, but it’s clear from here I saw one person trying to fight to get out of the car,” homeowner Silverio Acosta said in an interview last month. Once the man got out of the SUV, Acosta said he saw the man pick up and smash pieces of wood against the fence. Authorities later found an expired insurance card belonging to Wallace inside the vehicle, which led to him being charged.
