Saints' Williams pleads guilty to lesser DWI charge

New Orleans Saints cornerback P.J. Williams pled guilty to a reduced charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle on Tuesday after he was initially charged with driving while intoxicated in January, NOLA.com reported.

Williams was ordered to pay a $340 fine, according to the report.

However, the fifth-year cornerback could still face discipline from the NFL through its personal conduct policy. Although the incident took place in January, it's not uncommon for the league to wait until a case like this is resolved in court.

"We have been monitoring developments in the matter," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
