Former OU wide receiver Trejan Bridges and running back Mikey Henderson pleaded guilty Friday to larceny from a person at nighttime, The Oklahoman reported Saturday morning.
The two were charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and their sentencing was set for Jan. 3.
Before then, Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman ordered them to complete the Oklahoma Department of Corrections' Regimented Inmate Discipline program. They were taken to jail to await transfer.
The judge could impose up to 10 years in prison on the felony charges.
Bridges and former Sooners running back Seth McGowan were charged in May 2021 after a 911 caller reported to Norman police they robbed him at his apartment.
The victim said the April 15 robbery occurred after he declined to sell McGowan marijuana. Subsequently, McGowan allegedly showed up at the victim’s door with his right hand up his shirt as the victim answered the door. After asking if McGowan had a gun, Bridges and a third man wearing a face mask and hoodie entered the victim’s apartment.
There, warrants state Bridges — wearing a blue surgical face mask — pointed a handgun at the victim. The victim then pulled McGowan to the ground, and Bridges hit the victim on the head with the gun and kicked him multiple times. Bridges then allegedly threatened to shoot and kill him.
The third man — whom police believe to be Henderson — allegedly ran to the victim’s bedroom and took off with a backpack of the victim’s items. Court documents reveal the victim’s property was found at the bottom of Lake Thunderbird on May 17.
According to the Oklahoman, Bridges and Henderson admitted Friday to larceny, rather than robbery, after their attorneys reached plea deals with prosecutors. District Attorney Greg Mashburn said McGowan is getting a similar deal and will go into the RID program next year.
