The city of New Rochelle is honoring embattled former NFL running back Ray Rice by inducting him to its Walk of Fame class of 2017.

Supporters say the former Baltimore Raven superstar deserves the recognition, but he is not without critics.

Surveillance video in 2014 showed him assaulting his then-girlfriend in an elevator. News 12 spoke to some residents who say they accept his apology. The couple has since gotten married.

Actress Claire Trevor, artist Reginald Marsh and several others are also receiving honors.
