Texas Football: Vince Young DWI Punishment Determined

Former Texas Longhorns football star Vince Young has officially been punished for his 2016 DWI arrest. And, the good news for VY is he avoided jail time.

Young was sentenced to 18 months of probation and fined $300 by a Travis County judge, reports the AP. He also most complete 60 hours of community service, attend a drunk-driving class, and install a device on his vehicle to detect alcohol use.

Young was arrested nearly one year ago in Austin. His BAC level was three times the legal limit.

Back in January 2016, Young nearly lost his Longhorn Network TV gig following his arrest.
