Deion Sanders is back in the spotlight, but not for his football or TV career. He’s back because he is the alleged victim of a domestic dispute.
"Monday evening the former defensive back tweeted: “Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room. She's going to jail n I'm pressing charges!”
And pressed charges he did.
"Apparently, Sanders warned authorities beforehand an incident would take place. Sanders says his wife kicked, bit and scratched him. Pilar Michelle Sanders was booked late Monday night."
Pilar’s bond was only $ 264 ... but her estranged husband told KXAS he’s taken extra precautions.
“I have locks on my doors right now. Is somebody going to have to die … is it going to be me before the courts do something to get this woman out my house, it’s absurd.”
This after Deion filed for divorce back in December 2011 and Pilar filed a still-pending defamation lawsuit against him. A Yahoo! contributor applauds Deion for how he handled the situation.
“I comment Sanders for coming forward first. At least this way, he can control the story and try to keep his family from getting hounded by more unnecessary media coverage.”
So how can Deion prove all this occurred? He says he has two character witnesses — his sons. He also tweeted this photo, saying...
“Filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth.”
Pilar hasn’t publicly responded as of Tuesday afternoon.
