SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Former Utah receiver Marquis Wilson has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor alcohol-related reckless driving in connection to a 2007 case.
Wilson, 22, was pulled over March 10, 2007, in downtown Salt Lake City and cited for making an illegal turn.
Police reports say officers gave Wilson a sobriety test and his blood alcohol content was .11 percent, .03 above the legal limit.
As part of a plea deal accepted in 3rd District Court Wednesday, Wilson has been sentenced to 12 months of probation and a $500 fine.
Wilson was initially charged with misdemeanor counts of drunken driving and possession of alcohol by a minor.
Wilson was suspended from the team after the incident. Utah coach Kyle Whittingham has said Wilson is committed to working his way back into the lineup.
