NEW YORK — Prosecutors say a new arrest has put at risk a New York City man’s plea deal in the stabbing of a professional basketball player last year outside a nightclub.
Shevoy Bleary had pleaded guilty in June to two counts of assault in the April 2015 stabbing of former Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland and a woman.
The New York Daily News reports (http://nydn.us/2aik8LN ) prosecutors had agreed in exchange to allow him to serve a handful of weekends in jail.
But after his June arrest in Brooklyn for possessing forged credit cards, Manhattan prosecutors say the deal is no longer on the table.
