NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The drunken-driving charge against Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair was dropped Tuesday because a related DUI charge against his brother-in-law was reduced to reckless driving.
"It's good. I'm glad it's over," McNair said as he left the court room.
When asked whether he would change how he handles himself when he goes out at night, McNair did not answer.
The Ravens had no immediate comment.
McNair was a passenger when Nashville police stopped his pickup truck May 9 for speeding. The former Tennessee Titan was charged because police said
McNair allowed his vehicle to be driven by someone who was inebriated, brother-in-law Jamie Cartwright.
Cartwright refused to take a breath test and was charged with drunken driving. Police said he acknowledged drinking two beers, smelled of alcohol and failed a field sobriety test. Cartwright will serve two days in jail within a month, pay a $350 fine and attend DUI school.
Because Cartwright's DUI charge was dropped with his plea bargain, the charge against McNair was dismissed.
