J.J. Redick pleaded guilty Monday to drunken driving charges and received a one-year sentence of unsupervised probation. The former Duke basketball star also received a 60-day suspended license in North Carolina (ooooh, I'm sure he gives a damn about that), $410 in fees and court costs (now how in the hell is a 1st round draft pick gonna afford $410?!) and must perform 24 hours of community service (..and I'm sure those will get done), according to Candy Clark, administrative assistant to District Attorney Mike Nifong.
Redick was arrested after 1 a.m. on June 13 when he made an illegal U-turn after approaching a license check point near the Duke campus, police said. He pulled into a parking lot of an apartment complex after police pursued him.... Redick had "very glassy eyes, strong odor of alcohol coming from breath." He had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent. The legal limit for drivers in North Carolina is 0.08. He has 90 days to complete his community service. (INFO)

All I have to say is...this happened right before the draft. Couldn't he have waited until after he was drafted to start having his brushes with the law?
Damn fool. He's be in more trouble soon.
