Lions' Lewand Gets Probation In Plea Deal
Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after being arrested for allegedly driving drunk last month in northern Michigan. Lewand was placed on probation for six months and fined $532 after pleading guilty to a charge of operating while visibly impaired.
He also will be placed in an outpatiend recovery program and is not allowed to drink alcohol while he's on probation.
The 40-year-old Lewand told the judge that he had several vodka drinks before he was arrested after attending a charity golf event in Houghton Lake.
After his arrest, Lewand apologized saying he's a person in active recovery and committed to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
