SKOKIE, Ill. (March 15) - Chicago Bears defensive lineman Tank Johnson was sentenced Thursday to four months in jail for violating probation in a 2005 gun case.


Johnson immediately was taken into custody. He could have been sentenced to up to a year behind bars.

Johnson, who pleaded guilty to violating his probation, also must pay a $2,500 fine.

Johnson was arrested on misdemeanor weapons charges Dec. 14 after police raided his home in the Lake County town of Gurnee, about 40 miles northwest of Chicago, and found six unregistered firearms.

1. Interesting Timing

He gets out right around the time training camp begins

3. And they let him go to the Super Bowl

Does this judge have to run for re-election in Chicago?

4. But the $2500.00 really stings!!

I mean, omg. He makes that pulling on his jock!

5. Yes, isn't that handy? He should not have been allowed on the plane to FLA. nt

2. He made it hard to root for the Bears

If he were Joe Sixpack from Illinois, he'd be in jail for much longer. The Bears seem to love criminals, considering their signing of hate-crime convictee Ricky Manning, Jr.
