ATHENS, Ga. -- Jalen Carter pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing, his attorney Kim Stephens told ESPN.
The former Georgia star defensive lineman and top NFL draft prospect was sentenced to 12 months of probation, a $1,000 fine, 80 hours of community service and will attend a state-approved defensive driving course.
By resolving the matter, Stephens said the state is forever barred from bringing additional charges against Carter.
"We are happy that we were able to work with the Solicitor General's office to reach a resolution that was fair and just based on the evidence in this case," Stephens said.
