Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw has been jailed in Virginia since June 15 for an undisclosed probation violation. He remains incarcerated. He was sentenced to two years of probation for misdemeanor petty larceny while attending Marshall due to stealing a PlayStation game from another student. No further details on his situation are currently available. Rotoworld.com

Bradshaw did something naughty when he was a kid (it's a sealed juvenile thing) and was sentenced to probation by Tazewell County which covers his hometown of Bluefield, Va. Then he went to college (at UVa) and pleaded guilty to the underage drinking thing in 2004. Then he went to another college (Marshall) and was tagged with the petty larceny in 2006. He was sentenced to probation in each of those instances, but apparently those arrests -- not sure if it's either one or the combination of the two -- violated the first probation agreement from when he was a juvenile in Bluefield.
Thus, 30 days behind bars in Abingdon.
Essentially, he's paying for the crimes of his past but has committed no new crimes.
