TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Charges in three separate cases against former Florida State quarterback Adrian McPherson could be resolved by the middle of next week, his attorney said Friday.
Grady C. Irvin said he planned to talk with State Attorney William Meggs on Monday about a possible plea deal on two felonies involving checks and a misdemeanor charge of gambling, including bets on Florida State football games.
Irvin said he and Meggs met Thursday and discussed the parameters of a plea negotiation to resolve the cases.
The Tallahassee Democrat reported for Saturday editions that assistant state attorney Paul Driver confirmed Friday that prosecutors and McPherson's attorneys had reached a plea agreement on all the charges.
Phone messages left with the State Attorney's Office after hours Friday were not immediately returned. However, Irvin said later Friday there was no deal.
A hearing on all three charges is set for Wednesday before Circuit Judge James Hankinson.
Trial is set for July 14 on felony charges that McPherson stole a blank check from R&R Truck Accessories in Tallahassee and with receiving stolen goods after the check was cashed for $3,500. The money has not been recovered.
