The package only contained boxer shorts and socks, but Sapp has a lengthy criminal history. At the time of the incident in November, he was out on bail for bank robbery charges, and he still faces trial for that. Sapp's criminal record dates back to the 1980s, and he has been in and out of prison several times. As of Wednesday, Sapp remains in the Dauphin County Prison.
