D'Aundre Holmes-Wilfork received five years of
probation after pleading guilty to theft of property greater
than $300,000, according to the Galveston Daily News. The
conviction will be vacated should Holmes-Wilford successfully
complete the probation.
Wilfork reported in May 2021 that he was missing his Super Bowl
rings in addition to AFC championship rings, a college football
national championship ring, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Wilfork first noticed the items were missing a year prior but
believed them to be in storage. He was contacted by a New
England Patriots fan earlier in 2021 when the Super Bowl rings
were up for sale, alerting him to the theft.
Holmes-Wilfork's attorney said the all parties are trying to
move forward from the situation.
"The outcome that emerged from the case was a result of much
self reflection and healing on the defendant's part and the
willingness of his parents to forgive him and show him
unconditional love with the sincere hope that he can be
rehabilitated and go on to live a happy and productive life,"
attorney Mark Aronowitz told the Galveston Daily News.
Wilfork played in the NFL from 2004-16, primarily as a member of
the Patriots. He won Super Bowls with the club following the
2004 and 2014 seasons. Wilfork was first-team All-Pro in 2012
and was named to the Pro Bowl five times.
