Rentzel Gets 90 Days Jail Fine In Drug Case
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Lance Rentzel was sentenced to 90 days in jail a $2000 fine and three years probation on marijuana possession after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor. Judge Caldecott stayed the sentence pending his appeal citing an alleged illegal police search of Rentzel’s Hollywood apartment. Rentzel said he hopes to continue his NFL career with the Rams and thanked team management for backing him. His attorney noted the penalty was viewed as excessive and that Rentzel accepts public responsibility. His marriage to entertainer Joey Heatherton has ended in divorce.
