Seahawks Pro-Bowl MLB Lofa Tatupu pled guilty today to a May 10 DUI charge and was sentenced to one day in jail by Kirkland Municipal Court Judge Michael Lambo. Tatupu was charged after speeding and driving erratically in a Hyundai after a late night on the Kirkland night club circuit. Two hours after his arrest, Tatupu's blood alcohol level tested at 0.155 and 0.158, nearly twice the legal limit. Tatupu will also pay $1,255 in fines. At $7 million in annual salary, the fine is the equivalent of 10.2 seconds of on-field play for Tatupu, or a kick-off with a decent run-back. As a result of the verdict, Tatupu also faces NFL and team sanctions.

Well, they certainly threw the book at him! In Virginia (random internet fact), there's a mandatory 5-day jail sentence when the BAC is .15 or more.
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu pleaded guilty to drunken driving and was sentenced to a day in jail and fines totaling $1,255. Tatupu's attorney, Jon Fox, said the lawyer's plea allows things to remain status quo while Tatupu keeps his options open. Fox said he continues to have dialogue with the prosecutor's office. Fox said they hope to come to a positive resolution of the case. Tatupu did not speak to four reporters at this morning's arraignment, and only spoke to the judge to clarify his first name.
