Former Michigan State University basketball star Keith Appling accepted a plea deal Monday requiring him to spend a year in jail in connection with an incident last August involving a gun.
It was the third case in which he faced charges over a four-month period last year.
Appling, 25, pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon and resisting and obstructing a police officer. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 3, officials said. Two other charges in the case _ third-degree fleeing a police officer and felony firearm _ were dismissed.
Prosecutors also dismissed the other two cases against Appling as part of the plea agreement, officials said.
A sentence agreement in the case requires Appling to spend five years on probation and the first year in the Wayne County Jail with no early release, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said in an email Monday.
Appling's attorney could not be reached for comment Monday.
Detroit police stopped Appling on a traffic violation Aug. 28 in the area of 7 Mile and Russell, officials previously said. A police officer reached in the car to get his identification and Appling was accused of driving off while the officer's hand was still in the window.
Authorities said Appling threw a Gucci bag from his car and police found the bag near the area of the initial stop. It had Appling's name on it and a handgun inside, officials have said.
The incident followed two others, both involving guns.
Appling was arrested outside a strip club in Dearborn in May 2016. At the time, authorities said they found a handgun under the driver's seat of the car Appling was in, a loaded weapon in the trunk and a small amount of suspected marijuana inside the car.
In June 2016, Detroit police arrested Appling, and he was also accused of having a gun in that case.
Appling was a point guard at MSU in 2010-14 and is a former star at Detroit Pershing High School.
