NFL Defensive Tackle Nick Fairley Not Guilty of DUI

Detroit Lions defensive lineman Nick Fairley was acquitted of DUI by a jury of his peers in Mobile, Alabama, this week.  The former All-American standout at Auburn University, who starred in their National Championship season, was arrested for DUI in 2012 in his hometown of Mobile after being stopped for driving over 100 mph.  He allegedly failed field sobriety tests at the scene (weighing approx. 300 lbs), and declined to take a breathalyzer.  The jury found him guilty of Reckless Driving, and he was ordered to pay a $500 fine.
