Ex-NFL receiver Mark Ingram ordered to trial in theft case

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Mark Ingram, a receiver on the New York Giants team that won the 1991 Super Bowl, was ordered to stand trial on charges he broke into a garage and stole a woman's purse.
A judge ruled Wednesday there was enough evidence for the 41-year-old former Michigan State star to go to trial on charges of larceny of more than $1,000 and first-degree home invasion.
A woman testified she left her purse in an unlocked car in an unlocked garage in Grand Blanc Township on Dec. 10. The purse later was recovered, missing cash and credit cards, authorities say. Police said they found Ingram's fingerprint on the car.
Ingram served a federal prison sentence in 2001 after being caught with $3,290 in counterfeit cash during a police sting in Miami. He recently pleaded guilty to federal charges in New York in a money laundering and bank fraud case.
In the Giants' 20-19 Super Bowl win over Buffalo, Ingram caught a 14-yard pass on third-and-13 to keep a third-quarter scoring drive alive. He later played for Miami, Green Bay and Philadelphia.
So good, I had to almost put the whole thing in bold type, lol.
