Former Marshall University Football Player Released

{Huntington, West Virginia}...Former Marshall University football player 20 year old Michael Fleurizard was released Thursday after serving a little less than a year at the Anthony Correctional Center for Youthful Offenders. Fleurizard was one of three men dismissed from Marshall’s football team in August 2010 following the robbery of two pizza delivery men. Fleurizard was charged in a two-count indictment with first-degree robbery and pleaded guilty to one of those counts in March 2011. Cabell Circuit Judge Paul T. Farrell punished Fleurizard with a suspended prison sentence, allowing him to serve a six-month to two-year stint at the state’s Anthony Correctional Center for Youthful Offenders.
