Suspended Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon sentenced for DUI

Suspended Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon was sentenced to a year of probation and 100 hours of community service for a DUI, officials said.

Blackmon pleaded guilty to the DUI arrest in Oklahoma in 2015 on April 28.

He was arrested after an officer said he smelled alcohol coming from inside Blackmon's vehicle, according to a police report from the Ardmore Police Department.

Blackmon admitted to an officer that he and his friend had been drinking nearby at Chevy's Bar. He told the officer he drank just two drinks and submitted to standard field sobriety tests.

Sentencing was originally set for June but was pushed back to August.

This was his third DUI arrest in six years.
