Inabinett added that, “criminal mischief in the third degree is a misdemeanor involving damage to property that does not exceed $500.”
The Baldwin County Corrections Center released Yeldon on Sunday after he posted a $2,000 bond. A potential court date for Yeldon has not yet been determined.

He notched 2,005 rushing yards, 1,448 receiving yards and 13 total touchdowns in six seasons and made roughly $9.2 million during his NFL career, which included the 2019 and ’20 seasons with the Buffalo Bills.
