Indianapolis Colts linebacker D’Qwell Jackson was ordered Friday to pay a $1,000 fine for assaulting a pizza deliveryman last year near the busy U Street corridor.

Earlier this month, D.C. Superior Court Judge Wendell P. Gardner Jr. found Jackson guilty of misdemeanor simple assault in the Feb. 3, 2015 altercation.

During the week-long trial, prosecutors said Jackson, 32, assaulted the driver who parked in Jackson’s private parking spot near his D.C. condominium. Jackson said he acted in self defense.

Authorities said that police arrived in the 1900 block of 11th Street NW about 8 p.m. The driver told police that Jackson had punched him on the side of his face and the back of his head after he told Jackson that he would be in the parking space only “momentarily.”

Jackson, who attended the University of Maryland prior to playing for the National Football League, had faced a maximum of 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

The driver has also filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against Jackson. That civil case is pending.
