DUI NEWS & UPDATES

Seattle Seahawk Schmitt pleads to reckless driving


Seattle, WA - Seattle professional football player Owen Schmitt has plead guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving following his arrest for DUI laws month.

Mr. Schmitt was sentenced to 24 hours of community service along with two years on probation.

According to police reports, his alcohol level was registered at .151 and .161. The reason why there are two results is that in Seattle DUI cases, the police must take two separate breath test results. It is a well established fact that neither result must be exactly accurate.

The legal limit in for DUI in Washington state is 0.08, and a reduction to a reckless driving from an alcohol level as high as that reported in Mr. Schmitt's case is generally considered a very favorable plea agreement.
