Knowing that trouble-causing linebacker Rey Maualuga pleaded guilty recently to chargers of DUI, the Cincinnati Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis said he was disappointed with Maualuga’s failure in keeping life in order while not wearing his Bengals jersey on field.
“It’s obviously a disappointment in what occurred," Lewis said today at the NFL scouting combine. "I think Rey has taken some dramatic steps to fix and deal with this kind of behavior. He knows the situation he’s put himself in his career, our football team, the organization, the city and it’s unfortunate to try to be doing the right thing but do very poorly what he did and not to make very good decisions at all.”
Maualuga received a suspended one-week jail sentence, two years of probation, a three-month suspension of his driver’s license for driving under the influenced and ran his car into a parking meter and two parked cars. He also has to pay for court costs and the damage caused by his accident. The former USC star has apologized profusely for what he did and will check into the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., for at least a 30-day period. In order to avoid causing trouble again, he also promised to seek help for his alcohol issue.
