Submitted by webadmin on

Lenny Dykstra, the former star New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, entered a plea agreement with federal prosecutors who accused him of defrauding creditors by declaring bankruptcy and then looting his $18 million mansion, Reuters reported yesterday. The government filed the sealed plea agreement yesterday with the federal court in Los Angeles, court records show. Terms were not immediately available. Dykstra was sentenced in March to a three-year prison term after he pleaded no contest to grand theft auto charges. He was sentenced the following month to a 270-day term after entering a no contest plea to charges of lewd conduct and assault with a deadly weapon. A trial in the bankruptcy fraud case had been scheduled for July 24, court records show.
