Colorado Rockies great Todd Helton was reportedly sentenced to two days in jail over a 2019 DUI arrested in Tennessee.
Helton received a misdemeanor citation for driving under the influence after getting into a one-car crash in Knoxville on March 18, 2019, when police said his car struck a pole.
The former first baseman indicated he had taken an Ambien in the afternoon of that day, but an officer on the scene said they saw a cup in Helton’s car and it appeared to have “the odor of an alcoholic beverage.”
