A lot of you probably remember the Quinton “Rampage” Jackson episode in Costa Mesa, CA where he allegedly struck a pedestrian with his customized pickup truck and the police naturally got involved.  It appears that he will avoid jail time as according to the Orange County Register, an agreement was reached between Jackson’s team and the Orange County Prosecutor’s office; below is the piece, according to Jackson’s lawyer:

“Today, Quinton entered into a plea agreement that was fashioned to place more time between the instance and the resolution. The agreement is analogous to a deferred entry of judgment in that the plea to count two, evading a peace officer and driving against traffic, will be withdrawn and dismissed at the end of one year if Quinton’s doctors are assured that he has maintained good physical and mental health and he has complied with the other terms of the agreement. He will be seeing his doctor’s regularly with bimonthly reports provided to the district attorney. He will also perform 200 hours of community service, which will be designed to reach as many young people as possible.”

Basically, what this is is just a simple plea bargain, commonplace among first-time offenders.  Jackson plead guilty in exchange for community service – pure and simple.
