  Bengals Linebacker Arrested on DUI Charges

Rey Maualuga, a rookie linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals, has pleaded guilty to  driving under the influence in a Kentucky court. Following the guilty plea, Maualuga was sentenced to two years probation and fined $350. His driver’s license was also suspended for 90 days and he received a suspended seven-day jail sentence.

Maualuga was arrested on January 29 after hitting a parking meter and two parked cars. Because he pleaded guilty to the charges, his case will not move forward to trial. 

Maualuga could face action from the National Football League, although at this time no action has been taken against him.

Following the arrest, Maualuga publicly apologized for his actions, expressing his regret for “letting everyone down and making a terrible decision to drive under the influence.” In a statement, Maualuga said he wanted to “acknowledge fault quickly and accept the consequences of my actions.”

A spokesperson for the Bengals franchise released a similar statement, saying they expect a higher standard of conduct from their players and that Maualuga is taking the appropriate steps to correct his wrongdoing.
