Thug.Michigan wide receiver Darryl Stonum was sentenced to 10 days in jail Friday for violation of his probation stemming from a 2011 drunken-driving arrest.
Police said Stonum, 21, was stopped Thursday morning and found to be driving on a revoked license on his way to a probation meeting, and lied to his probation officer, Steve Hill, about how he arrived for the meeting.
This is Stonun's second jail term -- he received a three-day sentence in summer 2010 on a probation violation from a first drunken-driving arrest.
Stonum was sentenced to two years' probation in June, and redshirted this season.
Pope cited four alcohol-related offenses against Stonum, something he deemed "extremely unusual" for a 21-year-old. The judge said Stonum is among 1 percent of the population who have committed the number of alcohol-related offenses he has by his age.
Stonum has not paid any of the $1,950 he owes in court fees and had not attended any 12-step meetings in the past two weeks, the court said. The court also revoked his driver's license and he is not eligible to apply for one until June 22.
When sentenced, Stonum attempted to explain to the judge that he had just begun classes for the semester. He mumbled through most of his court appearance and told the court, "I was stuck," which was why he drove himself to meet with his probation officer.
To which Pope responded: "You were stuck because your actions have led to now."
