Former Illinois Fighting Illini basketball player Jereme Richmond was sent back to jail on Thursday after violating the conditions of his probation. Richmond plead guilty in January to unlawful use of a weapon and was sentenced to 18 months probation.

Richmond was arrested in August of 2011 in Waukegan, Ill. and accused of punching his ex-girlfriend and threatening her family with a gun.
His lawyer requested that Richmond be put on 24-hour curfew and attend treatment rather than serve jail time. The judge ordered Richmond held in jail over the weekend, the case will be brought back up on Monday, Oct. 29.
