Goalie to Serve Remainder of DUI Sentence Under House Arrest
After serving 15 days in prison for a DUI conviction, news sources say that a well-known goalie for a professional hockey team has been released.
Originally, the goalie was sentenced to 30 days of jail time. However, he was released after serving just half of his sentence due to qualifying for a work-release program. The program requires that he spend weekends and weekdays between 9 AM and 9 PM housed in a military tent in the Arizona desert.
Back in August 2010, the 38-year-old athlete was found guilty of three criminal offenses which included DUI. He was sentenced in June and started the work-release program on July 30th.
Upon his release, the goalie will have to wear a monitoring device for 15 days as part of his house arrest terms.
In February 2010, the athlete was stopped by officers when they saw him speeding. He consented to field sobriety tests and a
blood test which revealed that he had a BAC of .164, well above the state's legal limit. Following the DUI stop, extreme DUI charges were filed against him.
