Deion Sanders got off with a Class C citation for misdemeanor assault, which is the lowest misdemeanor, for an altercation he got into with Prime Prep Academy official Kevin Jefferson earlier this month in Dallas. Sanders is the school's co-founder, and he and Jefferson engaged in a heated confrontation during a faculty meeting, although he has insisted that he never assaulted Jefferson.
Jefferson, on the other hand, claims that Deion "grabbed [him] by the collar and pushed him into the wall hurting the right side of his back," according to his police statement. Deion has been given the option of either paying the $500 fine that comes with the Class C citation, or contesting it in Dallas City Court, and he chose to fight paying the fine. Deion told TMZ:
"I'm glad to go to court with several teachers who witnessed the non-assault. I wish Mr. Jefferson well in his paper chase. I will continue to support our teachers, students and parents to ensure academic and personal success at Prime Prep."
