Kansas City Chiefs Defensive End Sentenced to Jail for DUI

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end, Jared Allen, will spend 48 hours in jail after a municipal judge revoked an agreement for Allen to participate in a DUI diversion program and found him guilty of DUI. Allen was stopped for DUI in Overland Park Kansas in May 2006. He was granted diversion in July, but was arrested for DUI, again, in September. Because he violated the terms of the program, the judge revoked his diversion agreement. Allen pled to DUI and the judge sentenced him to 48 hours in jail, a $500 fine, and a 90 day suspended sentence.

Allen must still face a judge in February for the September DUI arrest.

The Chiefs' season ended yesterday with a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
