The Associated Press | SYCAMORE — Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu has been acquitted of burglary charges in Illinois.
A DeKalb County judge acquitted Ikegwuonu on Friday of residential burglary and criminal trespassing.
Ikegwuonu and his twin brother, Bill, were arrested on Nov. 25, 2006. They were accused of trying to steal a video game system from an apartment in the city of DeKalb.
Bill Ikegwuonu played for Northern Illinois University’s football team at the time. He was acquitted of similar charges in April.
Jack Ikegwuonu was playing for the University of Wisconsin-Madison when he was arrested. He was drafted by the Eagles in April 2008 but didn’t play last season because he was recovering from reconstructive knee surgery.
People in his agent’s office declined to comment Friday.
