North Carolina's WRAL TV-5 reports that NFL receiver Dwayne Jarrett of the Carolina Panthers entered a plea of guilty to driving under the influence, minutes before his trial was scheduled to start.
After appearing at the District Court of Mecklenburg County, N.C., Jarrett surrendered his license and was ordered to pay court costs of $420 and perform 24 hours of community service.
Jarrett is also to enter the first stage of the NFL's substance abuse policy, meaning that he is to be subjected to more frequent testing for drugs and alcohol.
Jarrett, 21, was arrested on March 11 in the Charlotte, N.C. suburb, Mint Hill. According to police, he crossed the center line and ran a red light. The police report says that his blood-alcohol level was .12, above the legal limit of .08.
