The prosecutor handling Bucs running back Michael Pittman's probation case in Arizona said Monday it's unlikely the presiding judge will allow a hearing scheduled in two weeks to be postponed until after the season.
"That would seem to be way against what she would normally allow," said Robert Hubbard, city prosecutor for Tempe Municipal Court, where Pittman's probation revocation hearing is scheduled for July 21. "There's no way she's going to do that."
Judge Lorraine Arkfeld, who gave Pittman a three-year probation in 2001 after an altercation with his wife, Melissa, likely will hear the case. Pittman was arrested in May on felony assault charges after police said he used his Hummer to ram his wife's Mercedes-Benz with her, their 2-year-old son and an 18-year-old babysitter inside.
