twitterUCLA players get fines, community service
Thursday, July 29, 1999 | 12:35 p.m.
LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
LOS ANGELES -- Nine UCLA football players pleaded no contest Wednesday to illegal possession of handicapped parking placards, a misdemeanor, and were sentenced to 200 hours of community service and $1,485 apiece in fines and fees.
Seven of the players -- and two others who postponed their court hearings -- will be benched for the first two games of the season, said UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale.
The sentence imposed by Los Angeles Municipal Court Judge Sam Ohta requires the players to perform half of the community service with the Special Olympics, which holds athletic events for the disabled, and half with other organizations. The players apologized, but more than a dozen people in wheelchairs jeered the plea bargain and sentences outside the court.
