Last summer, Hines Ward was arrested for suspicion of a DUI in Georgia. This morning he plead guilty to reckless driving according to the Pittsburgh Tribune. The prosecution dropped the DUI charge. Ward will have to pay a $2,000 fine and perform 80 hours of community service.
Here is a quote from Ward’s lawyer:
“We are grateful for the outcome,” Andrew Ree, Ward’s personal attorney and manager, said in a statement. “By dropping the DUI charge it is clear that the prosecution did not have sufficient evidence to proceed. Hines has always maintained that his ability to drive was in no way impaired and we are pleased that the facts support his innocence. He is thankful to his legal team and to all who stand by him. Hines has a great respect for the legal system and is also grateful in particular to the state for the professional manner in which they handled this manner.”
