Luis Sharpe Gets 6 Years
Former NFL lineman Luis Sharpe was sentenced Friday to six years in prison and four years’ probation for a series of drug offenses.
Sharpe played for the St. Louis and Arizona Cardinals from 1982-94 and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
In a pre-sentence report, Sharpe admitted that he first started using cocaine when he was a 21-year-old rookie in the NFL and it was “the worst mistake I ever made.”
Say NO to drugs!
Sharpe has been convicted of nine felonies since 1995 and spent several months in prison after a drug conviction in 2000. He also was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison in 2004 on other drug charges.
