Jayson Werth to serve five days in jail for reckless driving

Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth pleaded guilty to reckless driving on Thursday and will now serve five days in jail.

That’s better than the 10-day sentence Werth was initially given over a month ago, but some are shocked that Werth will actually have to spend time behind bars for admitting to driving his Porsche over 100 mph down the freeway.

Of course, the 35-year-old veteran is getting some special treatment. According to Justin Jouvenal of The Washington Post, Werth will serve his sentence only on weekends so he can continue to rehab his surgically-repaired shoulder.

I hope this NBA star is paying attention. Speeding is obviously nothing to joke around about.
