New York Yankee Joba Chamberlain Pleads Guilty to Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
On October 18, 2008, New York Yankees pitching ace-Joba Chamberlain- was arrested by a Nebraska State Trooper on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding and having an open container of alcohol in a car. The authorities have reported that Joba’s blood alcohol content was .134 percent. According to the Associated Press, Joba entered a plea of guilty today to driving under the influence of alcohol in full satisfaction of the charges. The reports further state that Judge Laurie Yardley sentenced Joba to probation, fined him four hundred dollars, suspended his driver’s license for 60 days and ordered him to take an alcohol education class. Joba is quoted as stating " I made a mistake and hope over time to turn this into a positive learning experience for me and others." With that outlook, it is easy to understand why Joba Chamberlain is a winner.
