Andre Rison Jailed to Serve Five-Day Sentence After Guilty Plea

Michigan’s tougher penalty for a second-offense operating-while-intoxicated case produced jail time plus 18 months of probation and more than $2,300 in fines.

Overview

  • Rison was booked into the Oakland County Jail on Friday to begin a court-ordered five-day term that he is scheduled to complete by Sunday.
  • Court records show he pleaded guilty this week to a second-offense operating-while-intoxicated charge tied to an August 2025 incident in Troy, Michigan.
  • The sentence includes 18 months of probation and more than $2,300 in fines and fees, while an open charge for open intoxication in a motor vehicle was dismissed.
  • Officials confirmed the booking was to serve the imposed sentence rather than the result of a new arrest, and requests for comment from Rison’s attorney were not returned.
  • The coverage places the sentence in the context of Rison’s public history as a 12-year NFL receiver with past legal incidents, which helps explain media interest in the case.
