INKSTER, Mich. (AP) -Detroit Lions safety Kenoy Kennedy has pleaded guilty to drunken driving stemming from a traffic stop in suburban Detroit. Kennedy, 29, entered the plea Thursday in District Court and told Judge Sylvia A. James that it was his first drunken-driving charge. He faces up to 93 days in jail when sentenced in January, after Detroit's season ends. Kennedy declined to comment as he left court. Kennedy was pulled over for speeding Oct. 6. After he refused a breath test, a blood test several hours later showed his blood-alcohol level to be 0.16 percent, twice the level considered drunk under Michigan law. Kennedy has continued to play for the Lions since his arrest. Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
