Pretty sad. Apparently he's struggled with drug addiction over the years and has been arrested for over 20 felonies. Yesterday he was arrested for murder.

Sources: Former ASU star, Chicago Bears player arrested in Phoenix murder
PHOENIX — Former Chicago Bears star, Michael Richardson, was arrested by Phoenix police on murder charges, according to multiple sources.
Phoenix police confirm Richardson, 59, was locked up Wednesday in connection with the shooting death of 47-year-old Ronald Like.
Investigators say Like was found shot and killed Tuesday morning near 40th Street and Van Buren.
Sources confirm to ABC15 the suspect is the same Michael Richardson who was an All-Pro cornerback and Super Bowl Champion with the famed 1985 Chicago Bears, immortalized in the ‘Super Bowl Shuffle’ video.
In the catchy song, Richardson has a solo, singing, "I'm LA Mike and I play it cool. They don't sneak by me because I'm no fool." The Compton native played college football in Arizona as a standout All-American at Arizona State University.
The arrest in connection to the murder is the most serious crime Richardson has ever been tied to, but it is far from his first time behind bars.
Richardson has been arrested by Phoenix police twice in 2020, both times for alleged drug possession. He was arrested and locked up in Maricopa County in 2018, accused of theft and possessing meth, crack cocaine, and heroin.
According to prior reports from ESPN and the Chicago Tribune, Richardson had been convicted of more than 20 crimes by 2008.
