Nig baller faces DUI and manslaughter

[Expose Them All]

A well known Tampa Bay Storm player went to trial Monday morning to tackle some legal trouble.

Darion Conner, 37, is accused of killing 32-year-old Jonathan Conklin while driving under the influence on Linebaugh Avenue earlier this year.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Conklin was riding his bicycle at 2 a.m. when he was struck by Connor's Toyota Landcruiser.

Conner's defense said Conklin was also drunk at the time of the accident and that Conklin rode into the path of the truck.

Deputies said Connor is facing DUI manslaughter charges.

Conner was convicted of drunk driving four times in 1990. He's been under house arrest while awaiting his trial.

His attorney asked the judge for another two weeks to prepare, but
the judge denied that request.

Arena football player sentenced for DUI and manslaughter

TAMPA, Florida -- A Tampa Bay Storm arena football player learned his punishment for killing a man while he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

Last week, a jury found Darion Conner guilty of DUI and manslaughter. At Conner's sentencing on Thursday, the victim's mother wanted to make sure the judge didn't let this repeat offender off easy.

"One time DUI is a mistake maybe, but four is a disgrace to the state of Florida."

After four DUI convictions in Georgia in the 1990's, the 37-year-old lineman was found guilty of being intoxicated when his sport utility vehicle hit a bicyclist last September, killing Jonathan Michael Conklin of Carrollwood.
