Seattle, WA -- (Sports Network) - Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu reportedly pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and was sentenced to one day in jail and ordered to pay fines and court costs of $1,255.

According to the Seattle Times, the 25-year old pled not guilty while his case was being investigated, but changed his plea to guilty on Monday.

Tatupu was arrested in Kirkland, Washington early on May 10 after a police officer observed his car driving in excess of 50 mph in a 35-mph zone.

According to the newspaper, Tatupu submitted to field-sobriety tests, but declined to take a portable Breathalyzer. He was arrested, handcuffed without incident and taken to the police station. His blood-alcohol concentration was measured at 0.155 and 0.158, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08.

Judge Michael Lambo credited Tatupu with having completed alcohol information school and attendance of a DUI victim's panel within a week of his arrest.

"I again want to apologize to my family, teammates, the Seahawks ownership and organization, and the fans for making a poor decision and putting myself in a bad situation," Tatupu said in the released statement.

The USC-product has played three seasons in Seattle and been chosen for the Pro Bowl each time.
