Starks has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster. Starks replaces New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, who will miss the game because of an injury.|||||||
Starks, a nine-year pro, had 27 tackles, 4 1/2 sacks and one interception.
The case against Starks has been resolved with the charges being reduced to a misdemeanor traffic violation. Court papers show Starks will pay a $219 fine and take eight hours of mandatory traffic classes. He originally faced a felony charge of aggravated battery against a police officer.|||||||
Miami Beach police say Starks was driving a large truck packed with people along Ocean Drive last Memorial Day weekend when an officer came up alongside. Starks allegedly swerved slightly, striking the officer and pinning him against another vehicle. The officer wasn't injured. Starks pleaded no contest to a charge of failure to use due care.
Prosecutors have dropped felony charges against Starks stemming from a May traffic altercation with police. Court records show charges of aggravated battery were reduced Tuesday to the misdemeanor of culpable negligence. The original charge carried a possible prison sentence of five years, but misdemeanors usually do not result in jail time.|||||||
