Dallas Cowboys stadium manager guilty of DWI in Tarrant County
The General Manager of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium entered a plea of guilty to charges of driving while intoxicated in Tarrant County. Jack Hill was then sentenced to 15 days on the county sheriff's labor detail and fined $925.
The Tarrant County district attorney's office initially sought 2 years of probation, a standard penalty for first offense DWI. Hill requested a jail sentence instead, to which the DA recommended 60 days and opposed the option of a labor detail. Hill, however, did not enter into a plea agreement with the DA and asked the judge to issue sentencing.
Hill, 54, was arrested for a DWI in Arlington on June 7, 2009 after causing an accident near the new Dallas Cowboys stadium within hours of its first public event. He managed the construction on the huge facility in Arlington. The Dallas Cowboys organization said that Hill continues to serve as the stadium general manager.
