According to the Gainesville Sun, Hammond was sentenced to 12 months probation, a $500 fine plus court costs and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service as part of a plea deal stemming from his June 13 DUI arrest.
Hammond was pulled over by university police early that Sunday morning after being clocked doing 45 in a 20 mph zone. Two breathalyzer tests revealed BAC levels more than twice the legal limit. Two open bottles of Crown Royal were found in his vehicle, which explained the twin pair of .19's.
Almost immediately after his arrest, Hammond was suspended from all team activities by head coach Urban Meyer; reports surfaced later that Hammond could possibly be suspended for at least one game and possibly two, but no official punishment has either been levied or made public.
While Hammond had just four receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown in 2009, he's being counted on to be a significant contributor in the Gators' passing game in 2010.
