Deputy Tried to Serve Civil Papers to Deion Sanders at Colorado Practice, but Coach Was Unavailable
The attempted service came as a judge weighed whether Deion Sanders may testify in his son’s bankruptcy case over an $11.89 million judgment.
- On August 11, a Boulder County Sheriff deputy visited the University of Colorado Boulder campus to serve civil papers to Deion Sanders, though the coach was "unavailable at the time to receive receipt of the papers" during an open practice.
- Deion Sanders faces a subpoena to testify in the bankruptcy trial of his son, Shilo Sanders, who filed for bankruptcy in 2023 seeking to discharge more than $11 million in debt.
- Carrie Haverfield of the Boulder County Sheriff said University of Colorado Boulder staff "were cooperative and assisted the deputy," while legal counsel later indicated they could accept documents on behalf of Deion Sanders, transferring service to Denver.
- During a Friday hearing, Michael E. Romero noted Deion Sanders is subpoenaed for the trial beginning August 31, suggesting the court might accommodate the coach's schedule around the Buffaloes' game at Georgia Tech on September 3.
- Experts note Deion Sanders' lawyers might file a motion to quash the subpoena, as Romero stated Deion Sanders was "allegedly on the phone with Mr. Darjean on the date at issue," making his testimony potentially relevant.
