  "summary": "Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property charges in Green Bay, Wis. Jacobs was arrested in May and charged with felony suffocation and strangulation and four misdemeanors, but the DA's office found insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges. He was fined $1,000, and his criminal damage to property charge was suspended for 12 months, dismissing it upon completion of a deferred judgement agreement. The agreement requires Jacobs to avoid further criminal acts, have no contact with the victim, undergo supervision, counseling, and pay restitution. The NFL placed Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list after charges were filed, and there is no change to his status as he remains on the list.",
