Ex-WSU quarterback Gesser pleads guilty to drunken driving

HONOLULU – Former Washington State quarterback Jason Gesser pleaded guilty Friday to a drunken driving charge.

Honolulu District Judge William Cardwell fined Gesser $150 and ordered him to attend 14 hours of alcohol abuse classes and pay $307 in fees. The judge also revoked his driver’s license for 30 days.

Gesser, 25, was charged after he allegedly ran a red light and failed a sobriety test on Feb. 15, 2004.

After his college career, Gesser joined the Tennessee Titans but was released in September. He entered the National Football League substance abuse program shortly after his arrest, defense attorney Paul Cunney said.

Gesser plans to leave Saturday for Tampa, Fla., to try out for NFL Europe, Cunney said.
