Derrick Ward, a former New York Giant, was detained on suspicion of many robberies.
Derrick Ward, the 2008 Super Bowl champion of the New York Giants, was taken into custody in Los Angeles on suspicion of many thefts that occurred nearby.
The former professional running back didn’t use a gun, but it was said that he was going for small businesses in his own state and city, such as petrol stations. He reportedly got his thefts by intimidating workers into giving him what he wanted with his 6-foot, 230-pound physique.
TMZ reports that his bail was set at $250,000 USD. As of 2021, the football player’s net worth was stated to be $3 million by celebsagewiki.com. If he has maintained that level of wealth, it implies that, if he did steal, it was not for financial gain.
Ward’s victory in the Super Bowl
Despite not playing in the 18-0 triumph, Ward was a member of the Giants squad that defeated the New England Patriots led by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to win the 2008 championship.
Ward broke his left fibula in Week 13, an injury that ended his season. He had been a member of the “Earth, Wind, and Fire” backfield, which also included Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs.
Ward, at the time, told The Post that it was “one of the worst situations I’ve ever been through.” “Having the opportunity to finally participate in the league and support our season.
When I was a small child, I used to fantasise about not being able to play in the Super Bowl. I was ecstatic to get a Super Bowl ring from my teammates.”
