Cardinals’ Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown pleads guilty to criminal speeding after reportedly driving 126 mph
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown pled guilty to a criminal speeding charge in an Arizona court Wednesday for driving 126 in a 65-mph zone.
The Arizona Cardinals receiver was arrested in August in north Phoenix and later released.
Brown faces up to 30 days in jail and/or a year of probation. He must pay a $500 fine.
TMZ Sports notes Brown’s initial plan was to plea not guilty, but he had second thoughts.
Arizona laws say anything over 20 mph above a posted speed limit is criminal speeding. It is a misdemeanor.
The 25-year-old had 67 catches for 709 yards and three touchdowns for Arizona this year.
