Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch is expected to plead guilty Friday to a traffic violation — which is not a criminal charge — for the hit-and- run accident involving his vehicle, law enforcement sources say.
Authorities investigating the May 31 accident have discussed two possible traffic violations: failure to exercise due care to avoid striking a pedestrian or leaving the scene of a property-damage accident.
Each of those violations carries a maximum penalty of $250 and 15 days in jail, but first-time offenders are all but assured of avoiding jail on such charges.
Sources familiar with the case expect Lynch to make a public statement about the incident Friday afternoon, either in Traffic Court or outside court.
Finally, the Bills can put this b.s. behind them. Hopefully once he pays the fines and does the community service we will never have to hear about it again (Roger Goodell…no suspension, please). Should be interesting to hear Lynch’s statement, wonder if he’ll admit to being in Beast Mode when he plowed into that broad.
