As Shilo Sanders' federal bankruptcy case heats up, the judge made a key ruling in the case this week.
Bankruptcy Judge Michael E. Romero granted a request for subpoenas, saying that the court found “good cause” for them before trial. This will allow Sanders' creditor, John Darjean, a former security guard at Shilo’s former high school in Dallas, the ability to obtain records from third-party sources related to an incident between him and Sanders in 2015.
Shilo was 15 years old when the incident with Darjean occurred. Sanders, who is now 25, was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the Chapter 7 bankruptcy hanging over his head. What's at stake in the case remains clear. Sanders' $11.89 million debt owed to Darjean could get wiped out, if he can prove there was no malice intent in the 2015 alleged assault. However, the details aren't favorable for Sanders at the current time.
Darjean claims Shilo severely and permanently injured him in 2015 when he swung an elbow into his upper chest and punched him as Darejan tried to confiscate his phone at school. Shilo and his parents, Deion and Pilar Sanders, were sued for damages in 2016. The elder Sanders were dropped from the suit but Shilo remained attached. Darjean was awarded the multi-million dollar default judgment against Shilo after he was a no-show for trial in 2022. He was an active participant until the case went to trial.

I guess nobody is interested in my article. Oh well, I thought it was interesting that a newly drafted to the NFL millionaire is being sued for elbowing a school official while in high school. Sorry to bore you all.
Thanks for posting. Sounds like Sanders has some anger issues!
He’s not being sued now — he was sued 8 years ago. He just didn’t bother paying anything to the plaintiff, or even showing up. He ignored it for years, and now he’s trying to get out of it despite having the means to pay towards the judgment.
Right, he got sued in the past, didn’t show up for court, got a judgment against him and is now trying to get it discharged in bankruptcy court even though he is not bankrupt...
If the official had been female and he had sex with her it would have gotten 20x the replies.
Arrogant Father, skin color dark, bad attitude in school. It is a dog bites man story.
