KC Chiefs DE sentenced in second DUI case
February 14, 2007

LEAWOOD, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas City defensive end Jared Allen will serve two days in jail for driving under the influence of alcohol.

The sentence came Wednesday after the defensive end pleaded no contest in Leawood Municipal Court. The judge then found him guilty of the charge.


Allen's two-day stint will be at the Johnson County Jail. He also must spend two days in a lockdown treatment program and one day on house arrest.

The case stemmed from a September stop in Leawood. It was Allen's second DUI charge.

In January, Allen was found guilty of DUI and sentenced to two days in jail after being stopped in Overland Park. He had been granted diversion to have that DUI charge dismissed, but an Overland Park municipal judge revoked the diversion after Allen was charged a second time.

and, by definition, if you drive while intoxicated, you done fucked up

five days total is a joke--if it was you or me who got caught not once but TWICE driving drunk, there's the potential for a WHOLE lot more punishment

once again an athlete or someone in a position of privilege skates with a slap on the wrist while 'nobodies' like you or me would get slapped like a little bitch

hell, didn't leonard little get away with actually killing a woman while drunk (vehicular homicide, IIRC--or maybe it was manslaughter), and only get suspended four games?? I don't recall

the point is, as much as I want jared allen to do well as a chief, I'd rather he actually PAID FOR HIS CRIME like the rest of us would--show an example to kids who want to grow up to be football players that they're accountable for their actions whether they grow up to be football players or janitors

I agree with you.

As much as I like Allen the football player, he should have been punished far more severely.

Jared could make a good Bengal one day if he's not careful.

As much as i hate doggin' a CHIEF, i have to second that. Typical celebrity treatment.

Jared, WISE UP you big frickin' galoot, you got lucky, the rest of us would be fooked.

As his two red headed monsters said to Bill Murray in Rushmore..."Get yer head outta yer ass".

Well said....i agree 100%

This is actually why these "Privledged" athletes continue to act in this sort of manner. They KNOW they can get away with murder. They never get held accountable for their mistakes like you or I would so why not just continue to do stupid things??

Heck, even Leonard Little got stopped on a DUI charge again a few years back.....incredible....
