OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen will spend 48 hours in jail after a municipal judge revoked an earlier agreement and found Allen guilty of driving under the influence.

Allen, who was charged with a DUI in May, was initially given a deal to have the charge dismissed if he completed a program. But on Sept. 26, he was charged with a second offense in nearby Leawood.

Prosecutors moved to negate the agreement, and on Wednesday the judge agreed, finding Allen guilty and sentencing him to jail time.

He must report to the Johnson County Jail on Feb. 16, Court Administrator Robin Barnard said Thursday.

As part of a plea agreement, Allen was also fined $500, given a suspended 90-day jail sentence and placed on one year's probation.

He is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 14 on the Leawood charge.
