Marshawn Lynch Reaches Plea Deal in 2022 DUI Case

The former NFL running back avoids jail by agreeing to a series of conditions, including DUI school and community service.

Former NFL star Marshawn Lynch has reached a plea deal in his 2022 DUI case, avoiding jail time by agreeing to complete DUI school, a victim impact panel, an alcohol evaluation, 200 hours of community service, and staying out of trouble for a year.
The plea deal will result in the misdemeanor DUI charge being reduced to reckless driving, with the case to be dismissed and closed as a reckless driving infraction upon completion of the agreed conditions.
Lynch was arrested in August 2022 after being found asleep at the wheel of an unregistered and undriveable 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 in Las Vegas.
Prosecutors had suspected Lynch's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at the time of his arrest.
Lynch, a former Seattle Seahawks running back and five-time Pro Bowl pick, retired from the NFL in 2019 after 12 seasons.
