West Virginia DUI case against Jock Sanders dismissed

West Virginia - Prosecutors have agreed to dismiss DUI charges against Jock Sanders, a West Virginia University slotback, who faced not only criminal charges but also suspension from the football team.

The deal, brokered by attorney Harley Wagner, calls for alcohol classes, speaking engagements at high schools and an ignition interlock vehicle immobilizer. Assuming that Sanders completes these requirements, the DUI charges will be dropped.

Prosecutors amended the charges from adult DUI to a minor DUI (under 21 years old) which allows the case to be completely expunged from his record, and allows him to avoid jail time.

In January of 2010, Sanders is scheduled to appear for a final time in the Monongalia County Court. Assuming he has completed all of the conditions, his charges will be expunged at that time.
