TEMPE, Ariz. — New England Patriots receiver Michael Floyd began a 24-day jail sentence Thursday after pleading guilty to one charge of second-offense extreme DUI (.15-.19), according to the Scottsdale, Arizona prosecutor.
Floyd’s sentence included 120 days in jail — of which he has to serve 24 in jail and 96 as home detention — $5,115.99 worth of fines and fees, admittance to a court-directed alcohol education program and 30 hours community service.
Floyd was arrested in the early-morning hours of Dec. 12 after Scottsdale police found him asleep behind the wheel of his running SUV. His blood alcohol level was .217. Floyd was hit with seven charges but six, including extreme DUI equal or greater than a BAC of .20, were dismissed.
