TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — Former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens has been sentenced to a month in jail for driving drunk in a Southern California beach town.

Los Angeles prosecutors say the sentence Friday also requires the 35-year-old to spend four years on probation and enter a two-year alcohol program.

Stevens is married to soccer star Hope Solo. He was arrested in Manhattan Beach in January while driving a U.S. women's soccer team van.

He pleaded no contest last month to misdemeanor drunken driving charges. Stevens also has a 2007 DUI conviction in Arizona.

Authorities say Stevens' blood-alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit.

Solo was with Stevens when he was arrested. She was suspended from the national team for 30 days for what were described as health-related issues.
