MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Joe Montana’s son has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving stemming from a traffic stop in which he declined a breathalyzer test.
Nate Montana was pulled over for going 39 mph in a 25 mph zone in Missoula early June 3. The 21-year-old University of Monatana quarterback was arrested on a first-offense DUI charge after a sheriff’s deputy said he smelled alcohol and that Montana fumbled with his driver’s license.
The Missoulian says Montana pleaded guilty June 23 to the reckless driving charge and paid $435 in fines and court costs. The speeding charge was dropped.
He received a 90-day suspended jail sentence and must complete a chemical dependency evaluation.
Montana transferred from Notre Dame in February.
