Former Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis surrendered to authorities in North Carolina after being charged alongside more than 10 others in an alleged attempt to defraud the NFL’s retired players healthcare program.
The United States Department of Justice confirmed the development in the case, per Fox 5 DC.
Portis is one of 12 former NFL players charged in the case, which alleges players used fraudulent claims to the program.
