Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, 51, who was both a University of Washington and a Seattle Seahawks QB, plead guilty to the reduced charge of negligent driving, for his arrest on suspicion of a Washington DUI on December 28, 2007.
Moon was arrested by Medina police and refused field-sobriety tests and a breathalyzer test. He was charged with his WA State DUI at the Kirkland Municipal Court. Judge Michael Lambo sentenced Moon to a 90-dail jail term, with 88-days suspended and a $1,000 fine, with $500 of that suspended.
Moon will either serve two days in jail or five days of electronically monitored home detention. In addition, he was placed on two years of probation and was ordered not to consume alcohol for 24 months. Moon obviously retained an experienced Seattle DUI attorney to assist him, which was very smart.
Moon, who quarterbacked the Husky football team to a Rose Bowl victory in 1978, is currently a member of the Seahawks’ radio broadcast team. In the next few days, it is expected that Moon will have a press statement or a news conference regarding his legal issues.
It is not known yet if he will be subject to a review hearing at the Northeast District Court, for violating his probation on a negligent driving conviction from an arrest in April of 2007.
