Former heralded Florida State football prospect De’Andre Johnson has been sentenced to jail for punching a woman in a Tallahassee bar.

Johnson, who has since left the Seminoles program, will serve 10 days in a jail work camp, pay a $1,000 fine and serve six months probation after pleading guilty to midsummer battery, according to a report from TMZ sports.

The incident took place on June 24, 2015, and soon video was released to the public of the brutal punch Johnson threw. (RELATED: SUSPENDED: FSU Quarterback Doesn’t Use His Head, Punches Chick Right In The Face)
