Former FSU QB DeAndre Johnson heading to trial after plea deal falls through

Former Florida State quarterback De’Andre Johnson will go to trial for assault after there was a disagreement over his plea deal Monday, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

According to the paper, a plea deal was in place, but the two parties could not agree where he would serve his 10-day sheriff’s work program.

The plea deal also called for Johnson to plead guilty, pay court fees and pay restitution to the victim.

Johnson is accused of striking a female patron at a Tallahassee nightclub on June 24. He was initially suspended indefinitely from the program but was dismissed when the Florida State Attorney’s office released security footage of the incident.

Jury selection for the trial is set for Dec. 10 and the trial will begin Dec. 11.

Johnson enrolled at East Mississippi Community College in August in hopes of restarting his collegiate career. However, he is not playing for the team this season.
