Tony La Russa Pleads Guilty to Multiple Charges from February DUI Arrest

Chicago White Sox manager has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless driving in relation to his DUI arrest in Phoenix earlier this year.

According to James Fegan of The Athletic, the guilty plea is part of a deal with the Maricopa County Justice Court that allows La Russa to avoid pleading guilty to driving under the influence.

Fegan noted that the plea comes with a one-day jail sentence, although the state is "not opposed" to work release or home detention instead if a judge approves it.

Per ESPN'sJeff Passan, Paula Lavigne and Charlie Moynihan, La Russa was arrested in February after a traffic stop.
