Le’Veon Bell Begins 15 Month Probation Program

Steelers star running back Le’Veon Bell was admitted to a rehabilitation program today, that when completed, will result in his marijuana charges from last summer being dropped.

The 15 month Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program requires Bell to stay free from drugs and alcohol, undergo any court recommended treatment, and take a safe driving test. His driver’s license is suspended for 60 days.

“He’s relieved to have the matter finally resolved with the opportunity to earn dismissal and expungement,” said Bell’s lawyer via the Post Gazette. “I expect Le’Veon will not be a repeat offender.”

With the legal matter finally coming to a close, the NFL should soon move forward with their discipline against Bell. A one or two game suspension to start the 2015 season seems likely.
