CONVICTED: Jarrod Cooper, Carolina Panthers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Associated Press reports Carolina Panthers safety Jarrod Cooper pleaded no contest Tuesday to drunken driving in connection with a one-vehicle accident in February. Cooper was sentenced to a 90-day suspended jail sentence and placed on unsupervised probation for a year. The judge also fined him $800 and ordered him to surrender his driver's license for a year. Defense attorney George Laughrun told the judge that Cooper, 24, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.18 percent at the time of the accident, more than twice the legal North Carolina limit.
