Miami Dolphins RB Mark Walton just cut a sweet plea deal with prosecutors … his gun, drugs and battery cases are all now closed — and the dude won’t have to spend a second more behind bars for any of his alleged crimes.
Walton was arrested three separate times in the past year — once for marijuana possession, once for an alleged battery, and the third for leading cops on a wild police chase.
TMZ Sports obtained footage of the third arrest … and you can see in the video, Walton in BIG trouble with officers — getting tased and still managing to flea the scene.

In total, Walton was facing six charges for the three arrests … including a felony gun charge. He was facing YEARS in prison if convicted.
But, we spoke with Walton’s attorney, Michael Gottlieb, on Monday … and he tells us Walton reached a deal with prosecutors in court to close everything out.
Gottlieb says in exchange for pleading no contest to a misdemeanor gun charge … Walton had every other one of his charges dismissed.
His punishment, per Gottlieb, was six months of non-reporting probation. Gottlieb also says Walton will have to complete a driving course.
It’s great news for the 22-year-old … the tailback just signed a deal with the Dolphins this offseason, and is fighting like hell to make the team’s roster.
Walton was a Cincinnati Bengals fourth-round pick back in 2018 … but he was cut by the team after his third arrest in April.
Walton has only rushed for 34 yards in his NFL career … but he was stud at the University of Miami, running for 2,006 yards and 26 TDs from 2015-2017.
