NFL Star Hines Ward Sentenced To 1 Year Of Probation



The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has been sentenced to a year of probation stemming from his 2011 DUI arrest.

Cops say he was driving his Aston Martin like a maniac, weaving in and out of his lane and hitting a curb.

Ward has struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pled guilty to reckless driving and no contest to failure to stay in his lane and in exchange, the DUI charge was dropped.

Ward was sentenced to 12 months probation, 80 hours of community service and ordered to submit to an alcohol evaluation and any treatment suggested by the evaluators.

He was also ordered to pay $2,000 in fines and court costs.
