Ayala gets 90 days in jail

SAN ANTONIO, Texas: Boxer Tony Ayala Jr. was sentenced to 90 days in jail on Monday after pleading guilty to burglarizing a San Antonio, Texas home and trying to commit aggravated assault.

Ayala, 38, also was sentenced to 10 years probation, according to defense lawyer Jimmy Parks. Parks said Ayala would be granted daily work release during his jail term so he can continue training to resume his boxing career.

Prosecutors and the defense agreed to the sentence terms as part of a plea deal last month. The plea came on the third day of Ayala's trial on charges of burglary with intent to commit sexual assault and two counts of assault. -- AP
