Steve Francis Cuts Deal To Avoid Jail Time

Steve Francis won’t be going to jail for breaking into someone’s BMW, in Florida. All the former NBA star has to do is stay out of trouble for a year and meet other court-mandated stipulations. 

Good luck with that.

Reports TMZ:

As we previously reported, Francis was hit with a felony burglary charge after allegedly breaking into a stranger’s BMW and taking more than $1,700 of stuff in Florida back in June. 

A rep for the State Attorney’s Office tells us Francis was accepted into a pretrial intervention program on Monday, which means he’ll avoid prosecution if he completes certain conditions. 

We’re told Francis will be under supervision for a year. During that time, he has to undergo drug and alcohol evaluations and complete any recommended treatment.

He also has to do 50 hours of community service, pay a $7,300 fine and apologize to/stay away from the victim. 

If the man formerly known as Stevie Franchise handles his business, prosecutors will drop the charges.

Although he’s been a magnet for struggle, we sincerely hope Steve Francis is able to avoid jail.
