Lynch gets probation for guilty plea

[DC4]

Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch pled guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of carrying a firearm in his vehicle.


Lynch was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and three years of probation.

Attorney Gerald Schwartzbach entered the plea for Lynch in a Los Angeles court Thursday. Two other gun charges were dismissed as part of a pre-arranged plea agreement. The 22-year-old Lynch was not present.

Lynch was arrested Feb. 11 after suburban Culver City police smelled marijuana coming from a parked car and found a loaded gun and four marijuana cigarettes inside. No drug charges were filed.

"Today I pled guilty to a misdemeanor violation of having a firearm in a vehicle," Lynch said in a statement. "I am embarrassed by my recent arrest and conviction. I deeply regret that I placed myself in this situation.

"I have made mistakes in the past. Although I have learned many lessons over recent years, I obviously had not learned enough. I apologize to my family, the Buffalo Bills organization, my teammates, the Buffalo community, and Commissioner [Roger] Goodell. I have already learned from this recent mistake and am sincerely committed to being a more responsible citizen and better representative of the NFL."

Schwartzbach said Lynch could have pleaded no contest but chose to plead guilty.
