Former NBA and University of Iowa basketball player Brad Lohaus has pleaded guilty to a theft charge for failing to deliver items he sold in eBay.
Lohaus, 41, of Iowa City, pleaded guilty Monday to third-degree theft. He was accused of failing to deliver fishing rods valued at about $1,970 that he sold on the Internet auction site.
He could face up to two years in prison, but prosecutors and an attorney for Lohaus are both recommending he receive a deferred judgment, which means the crime would be erased from his record if he successfully completes probation.
The Johnson County attorney's office also is asking that Lohaus pay $1,730 in restitution.
A date for sentencing wasn't immediately set.
