OLATHE, Kansas - Kansas City Chiefs CB Eric Warfield was sentenced to 10 days in jail and 80 days of house arrest for drinking and driving. The 28 year-old Warfield pleaded no contest in January to a felony charge of driving under the influence.

The charge was a felony because Warfield has two prior DUI convictions. As part of a plea agreement with Johnson County prosecutors, Warfield also was ordered to pay a $1,500 fine and perform 100 hours of community service. He will be on probation for a year.

In exchange for the no-contest plea, prosecutors dropped misdemeanor counts of driving with a suspended license and having no proof of insurance. The charge stemmed from a traffic stop on September 20, 2004, in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. Police said Warfield had a blood alcohol level of .189%, more than double the state's .08% legal limit.
