Former NFL running back Darren McFadden is reportedly set for a brief jail stint after recently pleading guilty to a drunk driving charge.

According to TMZ Sports, court documents show that McFadden took a plea deal in exchange for having the resisting arrest charge against him dismissed. He has been ordered to serve four days in jail and has already been credited with one day served.

The charges were a result of an incident in a Whataburger drive-thru in Texas back in January 2019. McFadden was allegedly passed out at the wheel of his vehicle and resisted when approached by police, which resulted in two of the vehicle's windows getting smashed.
