Jarrett Receives Sentence for DWI

Dwayne Jarrett closed what he hopes is the final chapter in his tumultuous first year in the NFL.  Jarret was sentenced for his previous DWI arrest.  The young receiver plead guilty, was ordered to turn over his driver’s license, pay a small fine and then server 24 hours of community service (not right then, and not all right in a row, obviously).  Jarrett was clocked at a .12 when the legal limit in the state of North Carolina is .08.  For those of you scoring at home, that’s .04 over the legal limit.  This even capped off a pretty awful rookie year for Jarrett, but the young receiver has vowed to turn things around in his second season.

Jarrett plead guilty to the offense, and seemed genuinely contrite and ready to make amends for his past errors in judgment.  While we have heard this song and dance before from many NFL players who find themselves falling down the wrong path, Jarrett still has a chance to get his act together and play some decent football in his career.  He will have plenty of competition on the field for a starting spot in the coming months, so he will definitely need to step his game up if he wants to prove himself out on the field.  Jarrett got off to a rocky start, but his story is not yet finished in Carolina.
