Stacy posed for the photo at the Orange County Jail in Florida after he was remanded into custody following a judge's ruling at a sentencing hearing on Monday.
As we previously reported, the former NFL player was seen brutally hitting his ex Kristin before fleeing the scene. After the beating, she called authorities and filed a restraining order.
In the original caption of her post, she said, “He is currently fleeing from Florida aggravated assault charges in Nashville, Tennessee.” Stacy was ordered to serve the jail time -- as well as one year of probation -- after he cut deals with prosecutors earlier this month following allegations he was violent with Kristin Evans, the mother of his child, on multiple occasions in '21.
Despite the attacks, though, Evans said Tuesday in a social media post she had hoped Stacy would not serve any jail time. Stacy’s ex-girlfriend said in court documents that he “physically assaulted me several times because he wanted the money back he gave me for our rent. . . . He punched my legs, slapped me, picked me up by my arms, and threw me into my window, which broke. I had glass in my feet that I removed myself.”
Stacy pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor domestic violence battery and two counts of misdemeanor criminal mischief.
Stacy played for the Rams in 2013 and 2014 and for the Jets in 2015. According to FOX 35 Orlando, the 31-year-old entered a plea deal in the domestic violence case earlier this month in exchange for some charges being dropped. Reports state Kristin asked the court only to give Zac probation. However, the state asked for a year in jail.
In the end, the judge, who said the video evidence was “shocking,” split the difference, which lands Zac with six months in jail. In addition to two years probation, along with counseling and other programs. While in court, Zac apologized to Kristin for his actions.
Reports also state the two have started to share custody of their son. Kirstin even provided the outlet with photos of the injuries she says she sustained in the Nov. 2021 attack, showing large bruises and cuts on her body.
Stacy is also accused of another domestic assault on his ex, which occurred three months before the viral video incident.
He was hit with multiple charges over the two incidents but reached deals with prosecutors earlier this month, and agreed to plead guilty to one count of misdemeanor domestic violence battery and two counts of misdemeanor criminal mischief.
