Former Rams WR Demarcus Robinson pleads no contest to misdemeanor DUI
VAN NUYS — Former Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge stemming from his arrest last November.
Robinson was sentenced Tuesday to three years’ probation and ordered to pay a $390 fine plus penalty assessment and to complete a series of programs, including a three-month alcohol program and a hospital and morgue program, and not to drive any vehicle with any measurable amount of alcohol, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.
Two other charges against Robinson – driving with a 0.08% blood alcohol content or higher and driving without a valid license – were dismissed, according to his attorney, Jacqueline Sparagna.
Robinson, who now plays for the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested Nov. 25.
According to the California Highway Patrol, officers noticed a speeding white Dodge sedan on the northbound Ventura (101) Freeway, south of Tampa Avenue in Woodland Hills, at 5:13 a.m. that day. After the officers stopped the sedan, the driver identified himself as Robinson, according to a CHP statement.
CHP officials indicated that the 30-year-old suspect was driving at more than 100 mph.
Officers observed what they determined to be “symptoms of alcohol impairment” and arrested Robinson on suspicion of driving under the influence, and Robinson was subsequently “released to a responsible party,” according to the CHP.
In two seasons in Los Angeles, Robinson caught 57 passes for 876 yards and 11 touchdowns. Last season, he finished with 31 receptions with career highs of 505 yards and seven touchdowns.
Robinson played five seasons for the Kansas City Chiefs and one season with the Baltimore Ravens before joining the Rams.
In March, Robinson signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal, with $6 million guaranteed, with the 49ers.
