Ex-NFL star Vontae Davis agrees to plea deal in DUI case, getting a one-year probation sentence after crashing his Tesla in South Florida... after he was found SLEEEPING on the side of the road

Former NFL star cornerback Vontae Davis cut a plea deal with prosecutors in Broward County, Florida after driving his vehicle under the influence.

According to court documents, Davis and his lawyers agreed to plead no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 12 months probation.

He was also ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and to pay fines and fees to cover the medical bills for those injured in the crash.

Back in February, Davis crashed his black Tesla into the rear of a Toyota pickup truck on a highway in the South Florida county.

Pictures obtained by TMZ show Davis asleep with his arms under his head, dressed in a mint green ensemble as the wreckage of both cars sits nearby.

Witnesses also told TMZ that Davis stayed asleep - even while first responders moved around him - until cops put him in the back of a police car. 

Even then, Davis seemed to struggle to stay awake - with footage showing him asleep in his seat.

A spokesperson for the Florida Highway Patrol told TMZ that first responders arrived at the scene of a car crash involving two vehicles on State Road 821 on Saturday, February 4, at around 7.51am.

When police interacted with Davis, they said, as revealed by TMZ: 'Your eyes are bloodshot. Your speech is slurred. You can barely stay awake. All right? You almost killed somebody.'

Officers asked Davis if he had consumed any alcohol, to which he replied: 'Yes, I had two drinks. Two mixed drinks.'

Police then requested Davis to take a standard field sobriety test but the 2009 first-round draft pick refused.

There was significant damage to the front and back of Davis' black Tesla while a pickup truck - a Toyota - suffered damage to its rear end.

In its report of the incident, police said that the 34-year-old had lost control of his vehicle and caused the crash. 

Authorities also reported that there was enough force from the collision for the pickup truck to hit a pedestrian nearby. 

The pedestrian was then immediately rushed to hospital with multiple injuries. The person's identity was not revealed by local law enforcement in the immediate aftermath of the incident.

Davis was ultimately placed under arrest and booked for DUI in Broward County

He was ultimately placed under arrest and booked for DUI in Broward County. His bond was set at $500. Court records show Davis has pleaded not guilty.

The former Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills player played 10 seasons in the NFL from 2009 to 2018.

Davis got national attention when he abruptly retired at the end of a September 2018 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

He removed himself from the game in the first half, saying he was 'done' - later confirming his decision to retire once the contest had ended.
