Former Vikings WR Koren Robinson gets 90 days in jail

ST. PETER, Minn. (AP) -- Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson must serve 90 days in jail for fleeing police last August, a prosecutor said.
Robinson was sentenced in Nicollet County Court on Tuesday for leading officers on a high-speed chase this past summer from St. Peter to Mankato during Vikings training camp.
Assistant County Attorney Paul Tanis said Robinson will be on probation for three years. He also must complete 80 hours of community service and pay a $1,500 fine.
Robinson is now with the Green Bay Packers.
Tanis said Robinson must report to the county jail by March 1, although he may serve the 90-day sentence in Wisconsin if he choses to do so.
Robinson can also serve the sentence at the same time he serves 90 days for violating his probation in a separate drunken-driving case in Kirkland, Wash., last year.
Robinson showed remorse in court Tuesday -- saying he's been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and trying to avoid alcohol.
