49ers fullback Bruce Miller pleads no contest to domestic violence charges
San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic-violence charge and will undergo court-ordered counseling, stemming from a March clash with his then-fiancée at a Santa Clara shopping plaza, according to Mercury News.
Miller, 27, entered the plea Tuesday, which results in a conviction of misdemeanor disturbing the peace that was revised from a vandalism charge filed in early May. The case was handled in a domestic-violence court because of the intimate relationship between the people involved.
Because he has no prior criminal history and there was no recorded physical injury, Miller will be ordered to attend a 16-week domestic-violence counseling course. If he completes the course, he his probation will no longer have to complete probation.
