NBA: Anthony pleads guilty to reduced DUI charge

Associated Press

DENVER — Nuggets All-Star Carmelo Anthony has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to probation and community service.

Prosecutors dropped a more serious DUI charge Tuesday in exchange for Anthony's plea.

He also pleaded guilty to failure to stay in a single lane. He was ordered to serve one year of probation, perform 24 hours of community service, and pay $1,000 in fines, fees and court costs.

On Monday, the Nuggets suspended Anthony for the first two games of the next season because of the arrest.

He was pulled over on Interstate 25 on April 14.
