Clyde 'Peter' Hall, a former player for the New York Giants in the early 1960s, was recently sentenced to five years in prison by Federal Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil. This decision came after Hall accepted a plea deal and confessed to attempting to sell fentanyl-laced drugs in New York City. The prosecution revealed that Hall had tried to sell the drugs to an informant cooperating with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
At 85 years old, Hall expressed remorse in court, apologizing to his family for letting them down and acknowledging his wrongdoing. He had previously been serving time for financial fraud crimes but was granted a 'compassionate release' when the attempted drug sale occurred.
