The San Antonio native and Brackenridge High star, who had no previous criminal history, faced life in prison after pleading guilty to drug trafficking.
San Antonio native and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Sam Hurd was released from a federal prison in Bastrop on Jan. 31 and placed in community confinement in San Antonio.A former All-State wide receiver and three-sport star at Brackenridge High School in San Antonio, Hurd, 37, starred at Northern Illinois University before he signed as a free agent with the Cowboys in 2006.
Although he was named the Bears' special teams captain, Hurd only played one season for the Bears. His football career was cut short in December 2011 when he was arrested outside a Chicago-area steakhouse and charged with trying to buy and distribute large amounts of cocaine and marijuana. In April 2013, Hurd, who had no previous criminal history, pleaded guilty to drug trafficking in federal court in Dallas, and faced up to life in prison.
In late 2013, U.S. District Judge Jorge Solis sentenced Hurd to 15 years in federal prison prison, and he served his sentence at the federal prison in Bastrop, with a scheduled release date of May 30. However, prison officials chose to release him early from prison on Jan. 31, sending him to community confinement in San Antonio.
Under federal Bureau of Prisons policy, community confinement can mean completing one’s sentence either in a halfway house or through home confinement, said Randilee Giamusso, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman. However, Giamusso declined to specify where Hurd will spend his remaining time until his sentence is formally completed on May 30.
“For safety reasons, we do not specify an individual’s specific location,” Giamusso said in an email.
