Friend of Former San Diego Chargers Linebacker Foley Found Guilty of DUI

The assault and drunken driving conviction of a woman and friend of Steve Foley, the former San Diego Chargers Linebacker, was upheld last Friday by a state appeals court.

Lisa Maree Gaut , who was with Foley on September 3, 2006 when he was shot in the knee by an off duty Coronado police officer, was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of driving under the influence.

The night the incident occurred, Officer Aaron Mansker followed Foley’s car to his home in Poway. Gaut got into the driver’s seat and tried to run Mansker down, but he was able to get out of the way.

Judge Charles Rogers sentenced Gaut to six months in jail or work furlough in June of 2007.

Foley pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor DUI charges. He had a .21 percent blood alcohol level.
