Philadelphia 76ers' Jahlil Okafor fined $439 for driving Maybach 108 mph over bridge

CAMDEN, N.J. -- The lawyer for Philadelphia 76ers rookie center Jahlil Okafor says his client will pay a $439 fine for driving his white Mercedes-Maybach 108 mph across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in October.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that a Camden County judge ruled Thursday that a plea offer to Okafor is valid, meaning he'll have to pay the fine.

Lawyer Andrew Smith says Okafor paid the fee, but the check wasn't accepted because Camden's law office tried to vacate the agreement.
