Ex-49ers star Aldon Smith pleads no contest to DUI in San Mateo County

Former San Francisco 49ers star Aldon Smith pleaded no contest Thursday to DUI charges stemming from, in which he allegedly tried to bribe a driver he hit into not calling police.

Smith, 33, entered the change of plea — he initially pleaded not guilty at his arraignment — in San Mateo County Superior Court after an offer from Judge Kevin Dunleavy to issue a sentence of no more than 16 months in prison for the troubled former NFL player. Thursday was scheduled to be a one-day trial for Smith, but after discussion between his attorney, prosecutors and the court, he chose to take the plea option. He has a court hearing scheduled for March 16, which is when Dunleavy plans to rule on a presentencing report that could recommend anything ranging from the 16-month prison term to a shorter county jail term or even a custody-diversion option, such as court-ordered rehabilitation.

Instead, California Highway Patrol officers were called to the scene and found two empty bottles of hard alcohol in Smith’s truck, court records allege. Smith declined a field sobriety test but later took a blood test that showed a blood-alcohol content of .288 percent, more than three times the legal limit, according to investigators.
