Defensive tackle Oren Wilson pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of assault and battery. Defensive back Chris L. Rucker and receiver Myles White each pleaded guilty to one count. Conspiracy charges against the players were dropped.

Appeals Court seeks documents in Kwame Kilpatrick case
DETROIT (AP) — Michigan’s Court of Appeals has asked a judge for more information about the scheduled arraignment of ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
The Appeals Court wants Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner to file a written order detailing what happened in his courtroom Tuesday when he told defense attorneys Kilpatrick would be arraigned Friday on a probation violation warrant.
Prosecutors also say the high court wants Groner to provide any written materials from Friday’s arraignment.
State probation officials recommended probation violation after the former mayor failed to make a court-ordered $79,011 restitution payment by Feb. 19.
The Appeals Court is considering a motion by Kilpatrick’s lawyers asking for a postponement of the arraignment.
