Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI charges resulting from his July 20 arrest hours after winning the opening-day stakes race at Del Mar.

Smith entered his plea via his attorney Thursday at the courthouse business office in San Diego. Because the case is a misdemeanor, he wasn't required to be present. He is out of custody on $2,500 bail.

A readiness conference was set for Oct. 14.

Smith has won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont during his career.

A court date is set for a Nevada city attorney facing drunken driving, leaving the scene of an accident and open container of alcohol charges following a daytime crash last month.

Henderson City Attorney Elizabeth Quillin is due for arraignment Monday in Henderson Municipal Court before a visiting judge, Moapa Valley Justice of the Peace D. Lanny Waite.

Former Michigan and NBA player Jalen Rose has pleaded guilty to drunken driving, admitting he got behind the wheel after drinking six martinis.

Rose entered his plea Wednesday in District Court in Oakland County's Bloomfield Hills. He faces up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.

The 38-year-old Rose was arrested March 11 after his Cadillac Escalade crashed about 20 miles northwest of Detroit in West Bloomfield Township. Rose and his female passenger were unhurt.

Rose was part of Michigan's famous Fab Five, which reached the NCAA title games in 1992 and 1993. Rose registered a 0.088 blood-alcohol level, above the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

He spent 13 years in the NBA and currently is a basketball analyst for ESPN.

The Montana Supreme Court has suspended the law license of a 54-year-old Billings man who ran into a teenager with a school bus while driving under the influence of alcohol.

The Billings Gazette reports the high court issued the order Tuesday and directed the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to file a formal complaint against Timothy Whalen, a lawyer and former state legislator from Billings who also was a school bus driver.

Whalen hit a 15-year-old girl at a crosswalk on Sept. 25, 2009, leaving her with a broken leg. He briefly checked on her and returned to the scene after finishing his route. Police say Whalen's blood-alcohol level was 0.118 percent two hours after the 7:40 a.m. accident.

He pleaded guilty in August to felony charges of negligent vehicular assault and criminal endangerment and was sentenced to six years with the state Department of Corrections with 18 months suspended.

Pennsylvania Superior Court says a southwestern Pennsylvania County was wrong to keep people charged with drunken driving out of a special probation program for first-time offenders.

As a result, the Herald-Standard in Uniontown says the court has overturned the conviction of 49-year-old Laura Sarapa, who was sentenced to 90 days to 23 1/2 months in prison in December 2009.

The court says Greene County officials were wrong to enact a policy that banned DUI cases from the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program. The program offers a special probation sentence, after which a defendant's record can be expunged. People charged with some serious crimes are barred from the program by state law, but drunken driving isn't among those offenses automatically excluded.

The appeals court says judges can already refuse to allow someone into program, and that the automatic ban takes away the court's discretion.

A judge in western Illinois has handed down a 15-year prison sentence for an Alexis man who'd repeatedly been accused of driving while drunk.

Knox County State's Attorney John Pepmeyer tells WGIL Radio that 50-year-old Jon Ahline pleaded guilty in October to a felony count of aggravated driving under the influence. Ahline was sentenced Wednesday.

Galesburg police say officers came across Ahline in March after he was found lying next to his van behind the Knox County YMCA. Police say he appeared to have fallen out of the van after driving there from his Alexis home.

Assistant State's Attorney Josh Versluys says court sentences for earlier DUI violations ordered treatment and counseling. But Versluys says that clearly didn't work, so the stiff sentence was necessary.

Iowa City police say a 25-year-old man called 911 to report a drunken driver: himself.

According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, police say Francisco Castro called the emergency number around 8:30 on Christmas morning. Officers found Castro sitting in the driver's seat of a running vehicle.

Police say Castro told officers that he called 911 because he thought he was too drunk to drive. A follow-up test showed his blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.

There is no listed phone number for Castro. Online court records don't yet list the case or his attorney.
