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.|||||||
