Former NFL player Rae Carruth settles in Pennsylvania following release from prison

Former NFL player Rae Carruth is now staying in Pennsylvania, just days after being released from prison.

The Pennsylvania Department of Probation and Parole confirms that as of Wednesday, Carruth will be under its jurisdiction. A spokesperson for the department told Channel 11 that she knows where Carruth has relocated in the state, but she can’t release that information.

Carruth, a former player for the Carolina Panthers, was released from prison on Monday after serving 19 years in the death of his pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams. Carruth was accused of planning her murder.

Doctors managed to save their son, Chancellor Lee, but the trauma Adams suffered before she died left the child with cerebral palsy.

The former first-round draft pick was sentenced to 18-to-24 years in prison after he was convicted in January 2001 for conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and using an instrument to destroy an unborn child. He was found not guilty of first-degree murder.
