Nebraska DT Steinkuhler sentenced for DUI
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Nebraska defensive tackle Baker Steinkuhler has been sentenced to nine months of probation after pleading guilty to driving under the influence.
A Lancaster County judge on Tuesday also fined Steinkuhler $400 and revoked his driver's license for 60 days.
Police stopped Steinkuhler early Dec. 7 because he was driving his 1993 Ford Explorer in downtown Lincoln without headlights and he failed to signal a turn. Steinkuhler's blood-alcohol content measured 0.115 percent, exceeding the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
