Cincinnati Bengals starting cornerback Leon Hall agreed to a plea bargain in his DUI case today, pleading guilty to reckless operation of a vehicle, according to Steve Kemme of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Per the report, Hall will be required to spend three days in a residential driver intervention program, pay a $250 fine, donate $500 to the USO, and serve 64 hours of community service. The judge issued Hall a 30-day suspended jail sentence, but just ordered that he spend three days in the driver intervention program. Hall’s lawyer, Ed Perry, said that the former first-round draft pick was driving home late at night because his pregant wife was going into labor and gave birth later that day. According to a police report, Hall blew a 0.149 on a Breathalyzer when he was arrested in April. Hall declined to comment to reporters after the hearing. There’s a video link here that shows Hall performing a field sobriety test after being pulled over.
