Darez Diggs, brother of NFL stars Stefon Diggs and Trevon Diggs, will receive two years of probation for his role in a 2023 elevator attack incident, according to a recent piece from TMZ Sports.
The episode occurred on May 23, 2023 in a downtown Los Angeles apartment building. The video on TMZ shows Diggs holding an elevator door opening while two other people enter and attack Cristopher Griffith.
Diggs pleaded no contest to a felony charge as part of a deal with prosecutors. Part of the conditions state that he must also do 20 hours of community service.

Diggs is the brother of four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Dallas Cowboys two-time Pro Bowler Trevoon Diggs. His brother Stefon was recently moved to the Houston Texans in one of the high-profile trades of the offseason.
Darez Diggs himself was a former XFL player. He also featured for the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Diggs is not completely in the clear just yet. Cristopher Griffith, the man who was attacked, has sued Darez Diggs claiming pain, suffering and emotional distress and also for $100,000 for the jewelry and other property that was stolen during the incident.
