San Diego DUI Sentence for Vincent Jackson Includes Work-Release Program
San Diego Chargers Vincent Jackson's sentencing will include four days in a work release program but no jail time after he pled guilty to his second San Diego DUI charge.
Vincent Jackson who is likely to be suspended by the NFL a couple of games was also sentenced to five years probation. He was also ordered to 15 days of community service from his January 2009 San Diego DUI charge, and pay a fine of $2048.
According Judge David Danielson, he said he would treat Jackson’s San Diego DUI case no different than anyone else with a second charge for driving under the influence. “I’m sure once it’s all said and done, we’ll definitely get the last laugh and hopefully our law enforcement will definitely continue to support us in the way that they have,” said Jackson in an interview.
The San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl wide receiver’s blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit in California measuring 0.17. According to his San Diego DUI lawyer, Jackson’s sentencing is standard for a second DUI offense.
