Randall Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Wednesday, July 25, 2007 Koren Robinson serving time in St. Peter As his former teammates prepare for training camp, former Vikings receiver Koren Robinson isn't too far from Mankato. He's sitting in the Nicollet County Jail in St. Peter, just north of Mankato. The Nicollet County Sheriff's office confirmed to my colleague Tad Vezner that Robinson was admitted into the jail on July 18, and he is set to be released on Aug. 2. Robinson was released last year, 11 days after he was arrested following a high-speed chase that ended near the Minnesota State (Mankato) campus. Robinson was charged with a felony count of fleeing a police officer, two misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree driving while impaired, and misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, careless driving and driving after his North Carolina license was suspended. In March 2006, Robinson signed a three-year contract worth $12.7 million. The Vikings open training camp with practices Friday. http://www.vikingsnow.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 frisbee writer, he needs to focus on the Vikings, focus on how much Peterson is a beast. A blog is a blog. The Hawks had the best local beat writer in Mike Sando (before ESPN devoured him up). I always enjoyed his updates on former players.

Randall Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Wednesday, July 25, 2007 Robinson resumes sentence in Minnesota Koren Robinson's latest incarceration in Minnesota is part of his previous sentence and not new legal issues for the banished Packers receiver, the Nicollet County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday night. Robinson, cut by the Minnesota Vikings after a drunken driving arrest during training camp a year ago, had been transferred to Brown County Jail in April to serve 45 days of a 90-day jail sentence on ankle monitoring and working at a local hospital. He was readmitted to Nicollet County Jail on July 18, a sheriff's office spokesman said, and is scheduled to be released Aug. 2. That likely will complete the sentence he began serving in Minnesota from March 9 to April 7. Robinson received two 90-day sentences after the arrest -- including one for violating probation stemming from a 2005 drunken-driving arrest in Washington state -- but was expected to serve them concurrently. The Pioneer Press first reported late Wednesday afternoon that Robinson was in jail in St. Peter, Minn., where last August he started police on a high-speed chase that ended near the Vikings' training camp in Mankato, Minn. After the Vikings released him 11 days later, Robinson signed a two-year deal with the Packers and played in two games while awaiting and then appealing his one-year NFL ban. Robinson can apply for reinstatement no sooner than Sept. 18 and, if reinstated, would be under contract through 2008. http://www.packersnews.com/includes/newspa...der/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
