As Reported By Detroit Free Press:
Judge Kimberly Small, known for her tough stance on drunken driving, ordered the former NBA player and University of Michigan basketball star to serve 93 days in jail, but she suspended all but 20 of those days.
Small, during a 40-minute sentencing hearing in 48th District Court in Bloomfield Township, told Rose: “You’re not here because you drank. I have no problem with that. Have at it. I do mind when you get behind the wheel of a two-ton vehicle and use it as a weapon against the rest of us.”
Rose will report to the Oakland County Jail on Tuesday to be housed with 1,200 other inmates.
Defense attorney James Burdick had pleaded with the judge not to send Rose to jail, noting the numerous contributions he has made to the community.
