ORLANDO, Fla. -- A former University of Central Florida football star and Tampa Bay Bucs player, accused of robbing a UCF student at gunpoint, will spend the next five years in prison. Charles Lee, Jr. was sentenced for robbery Thursday morning after pleading guilty.

Charles Lee was stone-faced Thursday as he pled no contest to the robbery charge as part of a negotiated settlement with the state.

Lee was arrested December 5, 2007, a week after he held up two students at Pegasus Landing, an off-campus student housing complex near UCF. Lee stole more than $11,000 in cash from his victims at gunpoint.

Before the robbery, Lee was already on probation for cocaine possession. Judge Jose Rodriguez sentenced Lee to two concurrent five year prison terms, one for the robbery and the other for violating his probation.

"Mr. Lee understands that he has to pay for any wrongdoing that he's done. He's willingly admitted that and he's moving ahead and is going to try to finish college while he is incarcerated," said defense attorney Daniel Holland.

Lee was a star receiver at UCF before being picked up by the Buccaneers and Orlando Predators. He was on the Bucs during their Super Bowl season in 2003 and later sold his Super Bowl ring on eBay.

Charles Lee said "I love you" to a girlfriend before being led out of the court Thursday. When he's released from prison, he'll have to pay back the money he stole.

I think  that dude was on my fantasy team for a week the season after the bucs won the superbowl. I cut him after the other 6 recievers in front of him got healthy. I wish I could say I saw this coming, but Im still very dissapointed in my former fantasy football player...

A coke head robbing his dealers.  And they had the nerve to cooperate with police . . . . . is there no longer honor among thieves.

Armed robbers.  Obvious drug dealers rolling $11K in cash . . . . . Pegasus Landing makes my old apartment complex (The Way) behind University Mall look like club med.

One of the greatest movie lines of all time:

"Convicted? No, never convicted."

Ron Ellis was never convicted, but was kicked off the team immediately and never came back.  Charges were dropped, but he was never invited back to play for the Gnats.

Brandon Marshall, however, committed assault on a cop and wasn't kicked off the team.  In fact, he played the next weekend.

O'Leary apparently has a double-standard for his better players.
