Chicago Bears defensive tackle Jeremiah (Jay) Ratliff pleads guilty to DWI, gets probation
FORT WORTH -- Former Dallas Cowboy Jay Ratliff, 33, pleaded guilty Thursday to DWI in a Tarrant County courtroom, the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office said. He will be on probation for one year.
The defensive tackle now plays for the Chicago Bears and goes by Jeremiah Ratliff.
Ratliff provided Criminal Court Judge Bob McCoy with documentation that he had a substance abuse evaluation, attended a DWI education class, attended a victim impact panel through MADD and performed 20 hours of community service for the YMCA.
Ratliff will pay $750 in court costs. While on probation, he cannot refuse sobriety tests from law enforcement in traffic stops. Doing so would violate his probation.
