The Nevada state trooper cited Nate Hobbs for reckless driving and changing lanes without signaling. Previously, on January 3, Hobbs was arrested for driving under the influence.
According to the Clark County District Attorney’s office, the DUI charges were dropped after authorities determined that his blood alcohol content was under the legal limit. In the January 3rd incident, ESPN.com reported that Hobbs pleaded guilty to a careless driving charge and was ordered to pay a fine and complete 20 hours of community service.
In addition to the fine and community service, Hobbs was also ordered to enroll in an alcohol treatment program. If Hobbs does not comply with the court order, he could be subject to a 30-day jail sentence.
Earlier in the season, the Las Vegas Raiders had another player, wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, involved in a high-speed accident that resulted in fatalities when Ruggs’s car hit another car that resulted in the death of a woman and her dog. Ruggs faces up to 50 years in prison for felony DUI and reckless driving charges.
