SEATTLE (UPI) -- Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu pleaded
guilty Monday to driving under the influence.
The Seattle Times reported Tatupu, 25, was sentenced to one day in
jail and ordered to pay fines and court costs of $1,255. The newspaper
said Tatupu pled not guilty while his case was being investigated, but
changed his plea to guilty Monday.
Tatupu was arrested in Kirkland, Wash., May 10 after a police officer
observed his car driving in excess of 50 mph in a 35 mph zone.
The newspaper said Tatupu submitted to field-sobriety tests, but
declined to take a portable Breathalyzer. He was arrested, handcuffed
without incident and taken to the police station.
His blood-alcohol concentration was measured at 0.155 and 0.158,
nearly double the legal limit of 0.08.
Tatupu has played three seasons in Seattle and been chosen for the Pro
Bowl each time.
