A Texas judge clears the way for deeper investigation into the altercation behind Shilo Sanders’ $11.89 million debt
A bankruptcy judge just handed a big win to the man trying to collect $11 million from Shilo Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie. On Thursday, Judge Michael E. Romero approved subpoenas that will allow attorneys to dig into police and third-party records tied to a 2015 incident at Sanders’ Dallas high school.

The records in question could be key in a legal effort to prove that Sanders’ debt-stemming from a civil judgment-shouldn’t be erased in bankruptcy. The exact contents of the subpoena request remain under seal, but the court order confirms it involves documents related to that now-infamous school altercation.

According to court documents and Dallas Police reports, the dispute began when then-15-year-old Shilo allegedly hit school security guard John Darjean during an argument over a confiscated phone. Darjean was hospitalized and later underwent spinal surgery. In 2016, he filed a lawsuit-and in 2022, after Sanders didn’t appear in court, Darjean won an $11.89 million default judgment.
Rather than pay, Sanders filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2023. His legal team argued the filing was a legitimate attempt at a “fresh start” as he entered adulthood. But Darjean isn’t letting it go so easily.
Can Sanders Erase the Debt, or Will It Stick?
Under bankruptcy law, debts tied to “willful and malicious injury” can’t be discharged. Darjean’s lawyers say that’s exactly what happened-and they’re gathering all the evidence they can to prove it. The subpoenas are part of that push.
Sanders, now 25, has said he acted in self-defense and disputes Darjean’s version of events. Both sides are heading toward a trial that could determine whether the debt disappears or sticks with Sanders as he embarks on his NFL journey.
He recently signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. If he makes the roster, his rookie salary could hit $840,000 this season. But that paycheck could be at risk if the court finds he acted with intent back in 2015.
The next phase of the case is expected to move forward this summer.

Twins win streak hits 13 with third straight shutout in 18-hit effort: ‘Winning is fun’
MILWAUKEE — About the only losses the Twins take these days are key players to injury. Even those can’t seem to slow them down.On a day the club placed top offensive performer Byron Buxton on the seven-day concussion list, the offense pelted the Milwaukee Brewers for a season-high 18 hits, and a red-hot pitching staff delivered a third straight shutout as the Twins extended their winning streak to 13 games with a 7-0 victory.AdvertisementPablo Lopez and three relievers added to the team’s Minnesota-record 33-inning scoreless streak, and Ryan Jeffers (four hits) and Kody Clemens (three hits) homered in the Twins’ biggest rout of their hot stretch in front of 40,267 at American Family Field.As if the streak weren’t enough, the team also pleased its fan base by announcing it would promote the people’s prospect, outfielder Carson McCusker, from Triple-A St. […]

Slovákova odolnost platila jen několik tvrdých útoků. Ten finální, a sice pravačkou na bradu, už znamenal skutečně svižný konec.

Technický knokaut! Vymalováno bylo za minutu a půl. Malach se zmohl pouze na sedm úderů a dost možná bude bedlivě uvažovat o své budoucnosti. „Hezky jsem reagoval zvedákem,“ usmál se vítěz souboje.V prvním kole přežil Peter Gabal neskutečné, ve […]
