Seattle Seahawks quarterback Trevone Boykin pleaded no contest to resisting arrest on Thursday.
The former TCU quarterback was arrested on New Year's Eve following an altercation near a San Antonio bar.
Boykin, 22, received one year of probation and is expected to serve the majority of it in the Seattle area, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which first reported the news.
The misdemeanor charge could be dismissed following the probation. According to the Bexar County Court records, Boykin was fined $1,500 and $237 in court costs. In addition, he was ordered to apologize to the arresting officer, among other stipulations.
Boykin's arrest resulted in a charge of assault causing bodily injury earlier this week, which could have resulted in up to a year in jail. A felony charge of assaulting a police officer was dismissed.
Boykin was suspended for the Valero Alamo Bowl and went undrafted before signing with Seattle after the draft concluded.
If the season started today, Boykin would be in position to back up starting quarterback Russell Wilson. Coaches spoke favorably of Boykin throughout the spring, and he took second-team reps during OTAs and minicamp.
Tarvaris Jackson remains a free agent and is an option to sign with the Seahawks and back up Wilson again. Jackson faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a woman in Florida accused him of threatening her last week.
