Bruce Smith admits to DUI Former Washington Redskins lineman Bruce Smith pleaded guilty to drunken driving Thursday, telling a Virginia Beach court that he wanted to own up to his mistake. Smith, 46, was fined $1,000 and given a 90-day suspended sentence. He had been convicted in lower court and appealed to a circuit court, and his retrial has been set for Thursday morning. Smith, the NFL’s all-time sack leader and Hall of Famer, played for the Buffalo Bills and the Redskins. He had two previous DUI arrests: A 1997 conviction was later dismissed, and he was acquitted in another case in 2003.
