Former Ohio State defensive lineman Alonzo Spellman has been released from the Tulsa County Jail after pleading no contest to a variety of charges.
Spellman pleaded no contest Monday to 10 counts filed in 2008 that include felony charges of eluding a police officer and assault with a dangerous weapon.
He was sentenced to one year in jail and was released after receiving credit for time served.
Spellman was a three-year starter and captain of the Buckeyes. He spent seven years in the NFL, retiring in 2001 after playing for Chicago, Dallas and Detroit.
