A former San Francisco 49ers standout and 3-time Super Bowl Champion and 12-year NFL veteran almost ruined his life as he was facing serious jail time after.
Tim McKyer was charged with five counts of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage stemming from an alleged incident in a Riviera Beach, FL parking garage back on Feb. 19 according to a report from TMZ.
Court records show the former San Francisco 49ers defensive back agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion program … and in exchange, officials said they’d drop the charges against him if he successfully completed it.
According to court documents, in order to accomplish that … McKyer must do 16 hours of community service, take four hours of defensive driving courses, pay $100 and keep his nose clean. A hearing has been set for late May to determine if McKyer has fulfilled all of the requirements.
The former San Francisco 49ers DB allegedly slammed his Tesla into five vehicles in the February incident .
Cops wrote in the docs all five rides — which were parked at the time — had visible damage, with some left totally “inoperable.”
According to the docs, Riviera Beach Police Dept. officers made contact with McKyer a short time later … and they claim he showed signs of inebriation — namely, cops say he reeked of alcohol and struggled with his balance.
McKyer was taken into custody for leaving the scene of an accident with property damage … and transported to a nearby hospital. While there, cops say he admitted he was the only one who had driven his Tesla that evening.
McKyer was ultimately arrested and booked on five total charges of hit and run.
