Timmy Chang Sentenced to Probation for Video Camera Damage

Filed under: Hawaii, Police Blotter

Timmy Chang, college football’s all-time leading passer, has agreed to plead guilty to charges that he took a video camera from a woman during a brawl in Hawaii last year.

Chang, 28, who threw for 17,072 yards from 2000-04 at the University of Hawaii, reached a plea deal in February on misdemeanor property damage and harassment charges. Chang received six months probation and was ordered to undergo anger management courses, which, if successfully completed, would wipe the charges off the slate.

Chang reportedly snatched a video camera from a woman, as a result of a brawl that broke out at a Honolulu home in February. Chang ordered the woman not to film the fight and, when she didn’t listen, he struggled with the woman and pulled the camera from her, throwing it on the roof of a nearby building, KITV, the ABC affiliate in Honolulu, reported.

After Hawaii, Chang went to training camp with Arizona, Detroit and Philadelphia, and played a season in NFL Europe before playing with Hamilton and Winnipeg in the Canadian Football League.
