Ex-Texas, NFL QB Vince Young gets 18-month probation for DWI arrest

AUSTIN, Texas -- Former Texas and NFL quarterback Vince Young has pleaded no contest and been sentenced to 18 months of probation for a 2016 drunken-driving arrest in Austin.

Young was also fined $300 Thursday and ordered by Travis County Judge Elisabeth Earle to complete 60 hours of community service, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

He also must attend a drunken-driving class and install a device in his vehicle that won't let it start if it detects alcohol on his breath.

According to the county attorney's office, Young's blood-alcohol concentration was three times the legal limit when tested after he was pulled over last Jan.
