Via TMZ:
Larry Johnson won’t spend a single day behind bars for allegedly choking out his ex-GF during an argument in a Vegas hotel.
Johnson’s GF claimed the ex-KC Chiefs player grabbed her by the neck and strangled her so hard during a 2012 spat at the Bellagio hotel, she lost consciousness.
When hotel security responded to the scene, Johnson was still fuming and told the guard, “I’ll rip your f**king vocal cords out,” … so said the police report obtained by TMZ.
But today, Johnson struck a deal with Vegas prosecutors … in which he agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanor domestic battery and assault … and in exchange, NO JAIL.
Instead, Johnson got 1 year probation, 48 hours of community service, six months of counseling classes and must pay a $345 fine.
Directly following the incident, Johnson told TMZ he never touched the woman.
