Cardinals general manager Steve Keim has been suspended for five weeks and fined $200,000 after he pleaded guilty Tuesday in Arizona to extreme DUI, the team announced.
Keim was cited for driving under the influence on July 4 in Chandler, Arizona.
The money will be donated to the Arizona chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. During his suspension, Keim will be barred from the Cardinals’ facilities and prohibited contact from the team. He won't be able to return until he's completed counseling.
“Once again, I apologize to everyone who has been negatively impacted by my actions and incredibly poor judgment, in particular the Cardinals, our fans and my family,” Keim said in a statement released by the team.
