Tyler Boyd Gets 12 Months' Probation for DUI: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

Pittsburgh Panthers star wide receiver Tyler Boyd has received a 12-month probation sentence following a June arrest on DUI charges.

Adam Brandolph of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported the details of Boyd's punishment Friday: "Common Pleas Judge Robert C. Gallo ordered Boyd to spend 12 months on probation and take safe driving classes. His driver's license will be suspended for 90 days, and he also must pay court costs. If he successfully completes the program, he can ask the court to expunge his record."

The Associated Press (h/t USA Today) reported July 1 that Boyd waived his right for a preliminary hearing in an effort to receive probation for a first-time offense.

According to Sam Werner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, on June 16 Boyd was formally charged with DUI and summary charges for underage drinking and traffic violations after he was arrested days earlier: "He was pulled over about 2:35 a.m. Friday after trying to pass another vehicle on Route 885 in Jefferson Hills. When stopped, the officer smelled a 'moderate amount of alcoholic beverage' on Boyd's breath, according to the police report."

As a result of Boyd's DUI charges, Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi suspended the junior wide receiver from team activities for one month. He has since been allowed to return to the Panthers as they prepare to open the season on September 5 against Youngstown State.

Boyd's talent on the field is undeniable. He's had over 1,100 yards receiving in each of his first two years at Pittsburgh and made the All-ACC First Team in 2014.
