An Idaho football player pleaded guilty to a DUI misdemeanor Wednesday.
Jante Boston, 20-year-old wide receiver for Idaho, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI charges from late January. He has been placed on a one-year probation with a license suspended for three months. In exchange for his guilty plea, the drug paraphernalia charges have been dropped by the Latah County Prosecutor.
Boston was arrested for a DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia and open container January 28, according to the Idaho repository.
Boston was taken into custody on suspicion of drunk driving, said Lieutenant Brannon Jordan of Latah County Sheriff Office.
Boston pleaded not guilty to three misdemeanor charges and is set to appear in court Feb. 6, according to the Idaho Repository.
“Jante’s behavior is inexcusable and disappointing,” Idaho head coach Paul Petrino said in a statement. “As a team, we discuss the dangers and ramifications of drinking and driving on a regular basis. Jante will face severe consequences both legally and internally and has cost himself the opportunity to play a full season.”
