Jalen Rose is headed to jail for 20 days.
Judge Kimberly Small, known for her tough stance on drunken driving, ordered the former NBA player and University of Michigan basketball star to serve 93 days in jail, but she suspended all but 20 of those days.
The sentence this morning in 48th District Court in Bloomfield Township came despite letters of support from several community leaders.
Rose, 38, was arrested March 11 in West Bloomfield after crashing his Cadillac Escalade on Walnut Lake Road west of Middlebelt. No one was injured in the single-vehicle crash.
Rose registered a 0.08% on a roadside Breathalyzer, which is the legal limit to be considered drunken driving. Later, a blood test showed a level of 0.12%.
Rose pleaded guilty to a single count of operating a vehicle while under the influence, a 93-day misdemeanor.
