A Boulder County sheriff’s deputy went to the University of Colorado campus on Aug. 11 to serve civil papers to Deion Sanders while the Buffaloes were holding an open practice. The sheriff’s office said Sanders was unavailable at the time to receive the documents.
The office said it is not unusual for civil papers to require several attempts before they are delivered. A spokesperson said staff worked with university personnel to find a better time for service.
The sheriff’s office also said it later heard from Sanders’ legal counsel, who said they could receive the papers on Sanders’ behalf. Because they were not in Boulder County, the paperwork was transferred to Denver to be served there.
According to USA Today, Sanders is being subpoenaed to testify in a bankruptcy trial involving his son, Shilo, that is set to begin on Aug. 31. The Colorado athletic department said it had no additional information.
