Chad Johnson was sentenced to a month in jail for violating his probation
Its 30 days in the slammer for Chad Johnson.
A judge sentenced the ex-NFL star to jail time Monday for violating his probation, reports TMZ.
Johnson, 35, reportedly failed to report to his probation officer twice and didn’t show the required proof of enrollment in a domestic violence education class.
He received 12-months’ probation after a 2012 conviction that involved ex-wife Evelyn Lozada and was required to take domestic violence intervention classes.
The former Dolphins receiver was accused of head-butting his then newlywed wife during an argument in front of their home outside Miami and was then arrested and charged with simple battery and domestic violence.

Their disagreement began on August 11, 2012 when Lozada, 37, confronted Johnson about a receipt she found for a box of condoms. She was later treated for a cut on her forehead.
He appeared before a Broward County courtroom May 20 over the alleged probation violations when the judge ordered he be arrested and jailed with a bond set at $1,000.
While a plea deal was in the works Johnson screwed it up by slapping his male lawyer’s butt during the hearing, which enraged the judge who asked him if he thought this was all a “joke.”
“I had no intent to make this a joke,” he said, “because my life is in shambles right now.”
In turn, the deal was tossed, the former pro athlete was kicked out of the courtroom and has now been sentenced to a month in lock down.
In addition, his probation was extended to December 21, 2013 with 25 hours of community service and extra therapy sessions.
