MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A former Badger football player strikes a deal after his arrest with a stolen gun.
Markus Allen was arrested at the annual Mifflin Street Block Party in April. The stolen gun was in his backpack.
On Monday, Dane County’s district attorney announced that Allen reached a deferred prosecution agreement. Allen and his lawyers maintain he bought the gun, but police are still investigating a report of the gun being stolen from a vehicle in a downtown Madison parking garage.
A deferred prosecution agreement requires counseling and community service. If Allen fails to meet the program terms, he could be charged.
Last Friday, Allen announced on Twitter he was leaving the Badger football program and entering the transfer portal.
