Chad Johnson will likely not serve a single day in jail for allegedly headbutting his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada during an argument last month — because TMZ has learned, he just struck a deal with prosecutors.
Sources close to Chad tell TMZ, the unemployed wide receiver agreed to be placed on probation and complete extensive anger management counseling … in exchange for either a guilty or no contest plea.
Chad also agreed to a no-contact order that would block him from talking to Evelyn. As we first reported, Chad and Evelyn’s divorce was finalized yesterday.
Under the deal, Chad will not serve a day behind bars. As we reported, Chad has been charged with misdemeanor battery in connection with the incident.
A hearing has been scheduled for tomorrow, during which a judge is expected to sign off on the deal and make it official.
