Former Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy has been sentenced in his 2024 “extreme DUI” case, TMZ reported Friday. He was arrested in September 2024.
Lacy received 180 days of confinement, as well as 30 hours of community restitution and a screening at a Youth and Family Services Behavioral Center, TMZ reported. He entered a plea last year, and the city attorney agreed to dismiss six other charges against him.
Lacy had a BAC of .325, which is more than four times the legal limit, at the time of his arrest in Arizona. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor extreme DUI charge with a BAC greater than or equal to .20.
Lacy was arrested Sept. 30, 2024, after officers said they saw him commit several traffic violations. A spokesperson for the Scottsdale Police Department said at the time that Lacy appeared to show signs of being intoxicated during the stop.
In addition, Lacy was also booked on a charge of “liquor – possess open container in vehicle,” TMZ reported. A woman also called 9-1-1 and reported he was driving erratically.
“Eddie’s speech was slow,” the Scottsdale Police Department said in a report, via TMZ . “Slurred and mumbled as soon as I began talking to him.”
