Coach Pleads Guilty

Gary Moeller, who resigned as Michigan football coach last week following an allegedly drunken outburst at a restaurant, pleaded no contest to charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct.

Moeller, 54, answered District Judge Bryan Levy’s questions clearly and calmly, entering pleas for both misdemeanor charges from his April 28 arrest.

Moeller faces up to a $100 fine and 90 days in jail on each count when sentenced May 31. But Amy Bowen, the Oakland County assistant prosecutor, said she did not expect him to be jailed, because of his record and community standing.
