Former NFL wide receiver Andre Rison was booked into Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, Michigan, on the night of Friday, June 12, 2026, to begin serving a five-day sentence stemming from an August 2025 second-offense operating-while-intoxicated case in Troy, with a scheduled release Sunday, June 14. TMZ confirmed the booking at 3:23 p.m. PDT on Saturday, citing the court records that also include eighteen months of probation and more than $2,300 in fines and fees ordered alongside the jail sentence. Rison's attorney did not respond to TMZ's request for comment by publication. No eligible quote in source.
The Michigan procedural shape is the part of the booking that frames Rison's exposure most cleanly. Under Michigan Compiled Laws 257.625, a second-offense OWI within seven years carries a maximum 1-year jail sentence and a fine up to $1,000 plus court costs, with mandatory minimums for second offenses set at five days served. The 5-day sentence the court entered is at the statutory floor, which is the standard disposition for a represented defendant who pleaded guilty without a contested factual hearing.
The timing of the booking is the small editorial beat the press cluster will weigh. The August 2025 incident has been working through Michigan's 6th Circuit Court for nine months, and the June 12 booking appears to have been arranged for the weekend window that closes Sunday afternoon, the standard pattern for a defendant with a working schedule and counsel that negotiated the surrender date. The Oakland County intake calendar typically processes weekend self-surrenders in 2-to-4-hour windows, and the Sunday release puts Rison back outside the jail's posted booking calendar before Monday's docket reopens.
Rison's broader public-life history is the longer arc that the celebrity press will revisit. The Michigan State and NFL career produced four Pro Bowls between 1990 and 1997, a Super Bowl ring with the 1996 Green Bay Packers, and one of the more widely cited destruction-of-property cases of the late 1990s, the 1994 fire at his then-girlfriend Lisa Lopes's home in Atlanta. The intervening decades have included prior DUI and child-support cases, and the current sentencing is the most recent in that pattern rather than a departure from it.
The post-playing career has been quieter. Rison served as an assistant coach and athletic director at Flint Southwestern Academy in Michigan through the mid-2010s, made occasional speaking-circuit and college-football-broadcast appearances, and has been credited at Michigan State alumni events as recently as 2024. The current jail sentence does not rise to the disposition level that would automatically trigger Michigan State's alumni-relations review process, but the press cluster will be reading the program's silence or response across the next week as the signal for whether the university is willing to keep him in its public-facing alumni rotation.
What sits ahead procedurally is the standard misdemeanor close. Rison will be released Sunday afternoon under the standard discharge procedure, the probationary period will run through December 2027, and the court will hold review hearings at six-month intervals to confirm compliance with the alcohol-monitoring and treatment conditions that typically attach to second-offense OWI dispositions in this Michigan circuit. The case formally closes only if the probationary year completes without a violation, and the next public-facing data point in the file will be the first review hearing in December 2026.
