"CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt was sentenced to five days of jail time for a driving incident, an Ohio judge ruled Tuesday. Taylor-Britt reached a plea deal regarding charges from an incident stemming on Sept. 14. Taylor was facing misdemeanor charges of driving without a license and reckless driving. The ruling was delivered after Hamilton County judge Bernie Bouchard declined to grant Taylor-Britt community service following a court hearing in Cincinnati."
"The reckless driving charge is a misdemeanor charge punishable up to 30 days in jail, a $250 fine or a combination of both. After the verdict was delivered, Joseph Tekulve, Taylor-Britt's attorney, attempted to set a fixed date for the Bengals cornerback to serve his jail time. Bouchard insisted that it be done immediately. "That's a gift," Bouchard told Taylor-Britt on Tuesday. "Five days instead of 30. He's got to do them now. It'll be over soon enough.""
Cam Taylor-Britt was sentenced to five days in jail by an Ohio judge after reaching a plea deal on misdemeanor driving charges. He faced charges of driving without a license and reckless driving related to an incident near Paycor Stadium following Cincinnati's Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hamilton County Judge Bernie Bouchard declined to grant community service and insisted the five-day jail term be served immediately. The reckless driving misdemeanor carries up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine. City officials alleged Taylor-Britt performed a burnout on the wrong side of the road; county attorneys later testified the incident occurred in June while court records indicate Sept. 14.
