GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- An Olympic gold medalist turned pro wrestler who pleaded guilty to reckless driving in North Dakota will not spend time behind bars.
Kurt Angle was given a 10-day suspended jail sentence and a year of probation, the Grand Forks Herald reported. He was ordered to pay $475 in fines and fees and undergo a chemical dependency evaluation.
The 42-year-old Pennsylvania resident was arrested March 25 after he was found in a vehicle in the median of Interstate 29.
He initially was accused of being behind the wheel of a vehicle while drunk. He disputed the accusation, saying his car had slid into snow during a storm. He later reached a plea agreement with prosecutors on the reduced charge.
Angle won gold for the U.S. at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
