Mark Ingram Sr. was a first round NFL draft pick and spent 10 seasons playing in the league. He even won a Super Bowl while playing for the giants. In 1996, he retired, and that’s when his problems began. He tried to get away with money laundering but after he was caught, he spent 7 years in prison and had to pay many fines. In 2018, he was sent to jail once again after failing to pay his $500 monthly reparation and not notifying his probation officer of his change of address.
