Hall of Famer Bruce Smith convicted of DUI

VIRGINIA BEACH—NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith was convicted of drunken driving today.

Virginia Beach General District Court Judge Teresa McCrimmon gave Smith a 90-day suspended jail term at a hearing Thursday and fined him $350. Smith’s license was suspended for one year for refusing to take an alcohol breath test.

McCrimmon pointed to evidence that Smith had trouble completing field sobriety tests after he was stopped for speeding last month.

Smith’s lawyer said he had trouble with a heel-to-toe walk and standing on one leg because he’s had multiple knee surgeries. Smith says he’ll appeal.

The NFL sacks leader was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year after a career with the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins.
