Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney’s brother has pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking in Alabama.

Henry Ervil “Tripp” Swinney III, 54, entered his guilty plea Wednesday in Bibb County, court records show.

Swinney, who lists a Clemson, S.C. address, was initially arrested on the felony charge on Sept. 5, 2019. Details of the allegations against him – including the grand jury indictment – have not been made public to protect the victim.

Under the plea agreement, Swinney received a 15-year suspended sentence with three years of supervised probation documents show.

As part of the plea, Swinney is prohibited from having any contact with the victim or the victim’s family, which includes commenting on any of their social media posts.

The records show that prosecutors did not object to Swinney serving his supervised probation in another state, which records show will be transferred to South Carolina.

Swinney one year ago was arrested in Pickens County S.C. on a charge of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Alabama authorities at that time revoked Swinney’s bond on the stalking charge, contending he violated the bond conditions by allegedly committing a new crime.

The South Carolina case began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children began an investigation. The disposition of the exploitation case was not immediately available.

Swinney pleaded guilty in Jefferson County in 2009 to stalking, third-degree domestic violence and harassing communications involving his ex-wife. Court records show he received a suspended sentence in those cases as well.

Swinney was arrested in Panama City in 2016, also on an aggravated stalking charge involving his ex-wife.

According to WYFF in 2016, Dabo Swinney said this following the Florida arrest:

“There’s consequences for your actions. If you don’t do the right things, you suffer the consequences. I’m no different from anybody else, my family’s no different than anybody else. I think the only sad thing is, it’s a story because he’s my brother,” he said.

“You know, if I was Joe Schmoe then you’re not asking me that question. But he’s almost 50 years old and one thing I learned a long time ago is you can’t change people. People have to want to change and do the right things. Unfortunately, he’s had a long history of not doing the right things. But I love him, he’s my brother. There’s nothing I can do about it and I done everything I can to be a good brother and help him but that’s his life and those are decisions that he’s made.”
