Jurisprudence

Michael Irvin’s attorney agreed to have him return a $50,000 sport utility vehicle, but a group of auto dealers still wants an additional $1.4 million from the Dallas Cowboy receiver.

The North Texas Toyota Dealers Assn. sued Irvin Tuesday for damages, contending Irvin violated deceptive-trade laws when he signed an endorsement contract misrepresenting himself as a moral person.

On Wednesday, state District Judge Candace Tyson gave Irvin and the auto dealers one week to negotiate a settlement. Otherwise, the case goes to trial March 10.

Former Super Bowl MVP Harvey Martin was sentenced Tuesday to 2 1/2 years in jail on charges stemming from an attack last week on his girlfriend.

The former Dallas Cowboy defensive end was sentenced after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of assault, telephone harassment and resisting arrest.

Last week, Martin, 45, pleaded no contest to felony cocaine possession and was fined $1,000 and sentenced to seven years’ deferred probation and nine months in drug rehabilitation. The same night, Martin was charged with resisting arrest for allegedly scuffling with arresting officers in Dallas after an argument with his girlfriend, 37-year-old flight attendant Debbie Clark.

Deion Sanders was acquitted of injuring a security guard while leaving Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium on a motor scooter two years ago.

The jury in the $1-million personal injury lawsuit said Sanders, then playing with the Cincinnati Reds, did not injure the guard. Deliberations in the civil trial, which began Monday, lasted about an hour.

New Mexico State safety James McIntyre has been accused of raping two women and burglary and has been indefinitely suspended from the Aggie football team, officials said.

McIntyre, 21, of Dallas was indicted by a grand jury on four counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and a count of aggravated burglary, police detective Byron Hollister said.

Also at New Mexico State, the men’s basketball team, recently placed on three years’ probation by the NCAA, has its latest recruit in legal trouble.

Donminic Ellison, a three-year starting point guard at Washington State who plans to transfer to New Mexico State, faces charges of marijuana possession and obstruction of justice in Washington. He also is charged with driving with a suspended license.

Basketball

The Phoenix Suns, with a glut of guards following the Charles Barkley trade, will send Elliot Perry to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

The Bucks, who have pursued the point guard for two years, will send Phoenix a conditional first-round draft pick for Perry, the paper reported. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.4 assists last season.

Free agent Dan Majerle is expected to sign a three-year, $8-million deal with the Miami Heat, a team he rebuffed last week. The 6-foot-6 Majerle played seven seasons with the Suns before he was traded to Cleveland last October.
