MIAMI (AP)—Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth has been released from a Miami jail after serving 24 days for DUI manslaughter.
His attorney, Christopher Lyons, says Stallworth was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center early Friday.
The 28-year-old Stallworth served 24 days of the 30-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter. Stallworth struck and killed a pedestrian in an early morning crash March 14. Police said he had spent the night drinking at a swank Miami Beach nightclub.
Stallworth has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL. He signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns before last season but was injured much of the year, finishing with 17 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown.
I didn't know he was suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Wow! And the way their contracts are set-up, he may not see anymore of that $35 Million. I remember reading somewhere online just last week that he told police that he didn't feel intoxicated that night. In a case like that, he could've either been pissy drunk or his intolerance level is so high that he felt "normal". Sadly, I know what he's talking about if that's the case. (feeling "normal", that is)
