Ex-OSU RB Clarett gets probation in DUI plea

MOUNT GILEAD, Ohio -- Former Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett has admitted he drove under the influence.

Clarett pleaded guilty under a deal with prosecutors and received a suspended sentenced of 60 days in jail Monday.

Court records show that all but three of those days were suspended. Clarett must serve two years of probation and undergo a driver intervention program. His driver's license has been suspended for 180 days.

Clarett was traveling on Interstate 71 in Morrow County on Jan. 3. A fellow motorist followed him for about 20 minutes and reported seeing him driving erratically.
