NFL Lineman Nick Fairley Set To Stand Trial for DUI, Other Charges

Former Auburn University star and current NFL defensive lineman Nick Fairley is set to begin trial today for a May 2012 DUI and reckless driving arrest. The 26-year old Fairley, who played last season for the Detroit Lions, was pulled over for going up to 100 mph wherein he was found to have an open container of alcohol, no proof of insurance, and a suspended driver’s license. Immediately following the charge, Fairley agreed to enter a diversion program only for prosecutors to deem him ineligible due to a previous arrest. Fairley has already been disciplined by the NFL for the charges.
