WR coach Williams sentenced to jail for DUI; can apply for house arrest

Nebraska wide receivers coach Keith Williams pleaded no contest to third-offense driving under the influence Wednesday afternoon.

A judge sentenced him to 30 days in jail and three years of probation and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine.

Prosecutors asked that he do the time in jail rather than house arrest, noting that he did not serve jail time on previous drunken-driving convictions. The judge also revoked Williams' driver's license for five years, but he'll be able to drive with an ignition interlock.

But Lancaster County Judge Thomas Zimmerman gave Williams time to apply for house arrest before he reports for jail March 3.
