Former Bull To Serve 20 Days in Jail

Jalen Rose will spend 20 days in jail after drunk driving accident

Former Chicago Bulls guard Jalen Rose has been sentenced to 20 days in jail for a drunk driving accident in March.

Rose was sentenced to 93 days in jail by Judge Kimberly Small, who suspended all but 20 of the days, according to The Detroit-Free Press.

Small, who is known for her tough sentencing on drunk driving, scolded Rose during the 40-minute sentencing, telling him that she had no problem with him drinking, but rather with him getting behind the wheel of a two-ton vehicle.

Rose pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while under the influence, after registering a 0.12 percent blood alcohol level in a hospital blood test.

In addition to the 20 days in jail, Rose has been sentenced to a year of probation, according to The Chicago Tribune.

Rose played in the NBA for 13 seasons and is now an analyst for ESPN.
