Yes, a lot of people want to catch up with Mike Goodson, the former Carolina Panther’s running back who just signed a big contract with the New York Jets. And that includes a lot of lawyers. While I was looking for something else, I stumbled on a ESPN story on Goodson’s legal issues.
Goodson made the news recently after he was arrested on drug and weapons charges. ESPN reports that he’s also fathered at least six children by three different women. And then there’s this:
Goodson didn’t pay a $56,465 bill at a Houston-area jewelry store, which included the purchase of a $37,500 Breitling watch, according to court records. The store sued him, and after interest and fees, he ended up paying $84,423.44. The amount was garnished from his Raiders paychecks, according to records in Texas and California.
Earlier, while with the Panthers, Goodson was sued three times by two apartment complexes in the Charlotte area, which demanded unpaid rent — ranging from $1,413 to $2,744, records show. In the latter two suits, records show he received eviction notices.
