LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch was ordered to pay $1,140 as part of an agreement to resolve his Las Vegas DUI case.
Lynch entered a submission in the case in municipal court, which means he did not plead guilty but agreed to court-ordered restitution in exchange for the charge being dismissed.
"Mr. Lynch has not been convicted of any offense at this time," Lynch's attorneys wrote in a statement to Channel 13. "He has agreed to complete certain requirements which will result in this case being closed as a reckless driving traffic offense."
His arrest dates back to early August 2022, when a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer found Lynch asleep in the driver's seat of a vehicle stopped in an industrial part of downtown Las Vegas.
In an arrest report, police described the car as "undrivable," noting it had no rim or tire on the driver's side front wheel and that the rear driver's side wheel appeared close to falling off.
Body-worn camera footage from the arrest documented Lynch's interaction with the officers, who noted a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from the vehicle and described Lynch's eyes as bloodshot and watery.
Throughout the interaction with police, Lynch fell in and out of consciousness multiple times.
He was ultimately arrested on suspicion of DUI, failure or refusal to surrender proof of insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle and failure to drive in a travel lane.
Lynch spent the majority of his NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks but played two seasons at running back for the then-Oakland Raiders. He retired from the NFL after the 2019-20 season.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this report stated Lynch pleaded guilty to DUI and was fined $810. Our reporting has been updated to reflect that the case was dismissed as a submission. Channel 13 regrets the error.
