San Diego Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson received a four day jail sentence and five years probation Monday after pleading guilty to a 2009 DUI charge.
This wasn't the first time that Jackson had been arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He also pleaded guilty to a DUI charge in 2006 and was on probation when he was arrested last January for suspicion of driving under the influence.
According to the City Attorney's Office, Jackson was given the standard sentence for a DUI with one prior, including a $2,408 fine and 10 days of public work service. He also was given an additional five days of public work service on the 2006 DUI charge.
With the guilty plea, Jackson likely will be subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy and could face at least a one-game suspension in the 2010 season.
Following a traffic stop, Jackson was handcuffed and had his car impounded hours before his team played the New York Jets in the playoffs earlier this year. Jackson now waits to serve his jail and work service time.
