Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in Tennessee and will be on probation for 3 months.
Court records show that Haynesworth, a former University of Tennessee standout, entered his plea Thursday morning in Franklin and is required to perform 25 hours of community service, make a $5,000 contribution to an organization that offers counseling to emergency responders and attend driving school.
The charge against the former Tennessee Titans player stem from a Dec. 13 incident in which prosecutors say Haynesworth tried to pass another driver, who crashed into a concrete median and was badly injured.
The Tennessean reported that Circuit Court Judge Jeff Bivins told Haynesworth that he hopes this will be a wake-up call to the NFL player that no one is infallible. The Dirt...The SEC Rocks!
