Ex-Seahawk Jerramy Stevens pleads no contest to DUI charge

By The Associated Press

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — Former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens has pleaded no contest to driving drunk in a Southern California beach town.

Prosecutors say Stevens entered pleas Thursday to two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 — both within 10 years of a previous DUI offense.

Stevens, who’s the husband of women’s soccer star Hope Solo, was arrested in January in Manhattan Beach while driving a van owned by the U.S. women’s national soccer team.

Authorities say Stevens’s blood alcohol level was at least 0.15 percent — nearly twice the legal limit.

Solo, who was with Stevens, was suspended from the national team for 30 days for what soccer officials only defined as health-related issues. She had been ordered to refrain from drinking alcohol last June after being arrested at her sister’s home on domestic violence charges that were later dropped.

Stevens also has a 2007 DUI conviction in Arizona.

Woman gets other drivers’ speed cam tickets — again and again

WASHINGTON - Miriam Singer's license plate reads "MS" and nothing more. The letters are her initials. But ABC 7 reports Singer -- an 87-year-old Baltimore resident -- has received D.C. speed camera tickets for license plates reading "MS ALF," "MS G" and "MS MAD" in the past four months -- even though she said she hasn't even driven in the District. ABC 7 says speed camera tickets are supposed to be reviewed by a person before being issued. Buel Young, spokesman for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, said it's up to police to double-check every ticket for accuracy before it's sent out. The tickets since have been voided by the Metropolitan Police Department, ABC 7 says. MPD spokeswoman Gwen Crump attributed the mistake to human error. Crump also said some Maryland tags require special handling. Young said he wasn't sure what Crump meant by that. See more from ABC 7 below: WTOP's Ari Ashe contributed to this report.
