WHITESTOWN, N.Y., July 23 (UPI) -- New England Patriots lineman Nick Kaczur has pleaded guilty to speeding in an agreement that will free him from a drug charge if he stays out of trouble.
Kaczur, accompanied by his wife, showed up 20 minutes late Tuesday for a hearing in Whitestown, a small town in upstate New York, The Boston Globe reported. Town Justice Stanley Wolanin agreed to dismiss a charge of possession of 202 OxyContin pills and ordered Kaczur to pay a $55 fine.
Police stopped Kaczur on the New York Thruway in April, allegedly traveling at 76 mph in a 65-mph zone. They cited him for illegally tinted windows and a loud exhaust and allegedly found the OxyContin in his car.
Kaczur became an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration after his arrest, leading to the arrest of his alleged supplier.
"Nick's not going to talk to anybody today," his lawyer, Louis J. Viviani of Syracuse, said. "The system ran its course. We are very pleased with this disposition. We don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. Nick's ready to move on and happy to get it over with and start camp."
