Former Seahawks defensive back Jeremy Lane plead guilty to reckless driving charges on Monday.
Lane was pulled over by a state trooper for driving 80 mph on the I-90 floating bridge. The trooper later arrested Lane for Suspicion of DUI. Lane was not legally drunk, but the officer suspected Lane was under the influence of both alcohol and marijuana.
Lane is due in court on May 4 for sentencing. The reckless driving charge carries up to a year in jail and/or a fine of upt to $5,000.
In charging documents, the officer said he smelled a "strong odor of burnt marijuana inside."
Lane, who had a passenger, allegedly told the trooper his home alarm system had been activated and he was trying to get home. The trooper wrote in the documents that Lane's speech was slurred and slow, and his eyes were watery and bloodshot.
Lane allegedly told the trooper he smoked marijuana three hours before being pulled over, but said he didn't drink.
The Seahawks released Lane in early March. The move saves the team $4.75 million under the salary cap.
