Stefon and Trevon Diggs’ brother, Darez Diggs, has been sentenced to two years of probation for his role in a violent elevator attack in Los Angeles last year.

On Sunday, TMZ Sports reported that the former XFL player received the sentence on March 27 in a Los Angeles courtroom. Diggs reportedly struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded no contest to one felony count of grand theft against the victim, Christopher Griffith.

Officials dropped another theft charge Diggs faced as part of the agreement.

In addition, he was ordered to perform twenty hours of community labor.

CCTV footage from an LA apartment building showed Diggs appearing to orchestrate the attack along with two other men.

The footage shows Diggs reaching in as the lift door closes, before apparently ordering the other two to punch Griffith.

The pair took Griffith to the ground – with one kicking him in the head while he was under house arrest – before dragging him out of the lift and taking his jewelery during a verbal exchange.

Griffith sued Diggs, claiming the incident caused him pain, suffering and emotional distress.

Griffith also sued Diggs for $100,000 worth of jewelry and other property he claimed to have with him during the attack. The civil case is still ongoing.

Diggs has not yet publicly commented on the matter. However, he seemed to be in a jovial mood when he worked Stefon’s youth football camp at the University of Maryland weeks later.
