Vince Wilfork played defensive tackle for the New England Patriots from 2004 to 2014, being selected to five Pro Bowls and winning two Super Bowls. He finished his playing career with the Houston Texans in 2016.
D’Aundre Holmes-Wilfork pleaded guilty last week to stealing Super Bowl rings and other priceless possessions from his father, New England Patriots legend Vince Wilfork, according to TMZ Sports.
Holmes-Wilfork worked out a plea agreement with prosecutors before pleading guilty to felony theft of property greater than or equal to $300,000 on April 20. He will receive five years of community supervision, if he does not have any run-ins with the law during that time his conviction will be wiped from the record. Holmes-Wilfork will also have to submit to drug screening and pay court fines as part of the sentence.
Holmes-Wilfork stole two Super Bowl rings, two AFC championship rings and a 2001 Miami Hurricanes national championship ring from his father.
According to TMZ Sports, a Patriots fan reached out to Wilfork when he saw the Super Bowl rings listed on Facebook marketplace. Wilfork’s ex-wife then reached out to the seller, who claimed that Holmes-Wilfork sold the rings to his business partner for $62,000.
Police also said Holmes-Wilfork sold various jewelry items to a store for $4,600 in March 2020.
Despite Holmes-Wilfork having a previous record, he was arrested in 2016 for having 381 grams of the opioid codeine in his car, the former University of Houston football player received a light sentence due in part to his parents forgiving him for the crime.
“The outcome that emerged from the case as a result of much self-reflection and healing on the defendant’s part and the willingness of his parents to forgive him and show him unconditional love with the sincere hope that he can be rehabilitated and go on to live a happy and productive life,” said Mark Aronowitz, Holmes-Wilfork’s attorney, in a statement given to the Galveston County Daily News.
The jewelry was ordered returned to Wilfork on April 20.
