Al Unser Jr. Pleads Guilty to DWI

Al Unser Jr. Pleads Guilty to DWI – Metro Court Judge Sharon Walton accepted a deal this morning in which Indy Car racing legend Al Unser Jr. pleaded guilty to DWI first offense and racing on a freeway. Unser was arrested in September and was scheduled for trial tomorrow. He had been charged with aggravated DWI second offense, drag racing and reckless driving. Prosecutors feared for their case against Unser because the arresting officer is no longer with the Bernalillo County Sheriff�s Office. Unser�s attorney, Sam Bregman, said his client had completed 30 days of inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse that that Unser �will not be in front of this court again.� Walton sentenced Unser to 90 days in jail, one of which he�s already served, and deferred the jail time in favor of 364 days of supervised probation.
