San Jose, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was sentenced to 11 days in jail and three years’ probation on weapons and DUI charges but can serve his jail term on a work crew.<\/p>\n
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Daniel Nishigaya also ordered Smith to pay $2,000 in fines, according to the San Jose Mercury News.<\/p>\n
Nishigaya on Friday reduced three felony counts of possessing illegal assault rifles against Smith to misdemeanors.<\/p>\n
Under the terms of his probation, Smith, 24, is barred from drinking alcohol or possessing guns or ammunition for three years. Violating the terms would result in an 11-day jail sentence.<\/p>\n
Smith can complete his 11-day stint on a work crew on consecutive Mondays starting July 28, according to the Mercury News.<\/p>\n
The talented but troubled linebacker, who has had numerous run-ins with the law, pleaded no contest in May to the weapons and DUI charges. He was facing up to four years and four months in prison.<\/p>\n
Smith took a leave of absence from the 49ers last year to seek help for a substance abuse problem. He has been one of the NFL’s elite pass rushers since being drafted No. 7 overall by the 49ers in 2011.<\/p>\n
In May, the 49ers exercised the fifth-year option on Smith’s contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
