Police said that according to witnesses, Miletich was driving on the wrong side of the road, drove over an embankment, was asleep at the wheel while the car was still running, and had to be reminded by the officer on scene to put the car in park after exiting the vehicle.
Probation came as part of a plea agreement. Court documents show Miletich also completed an anti-drunk driving education course.
The plea came a little over one month after he was charged with a serious misdemeanor of driving while license denied or revoked from an alleged incident March 6, according to online records. Miletich pleaded not guilty on April 16.
Miletich's arrest came the same day as a press conference for his rivalry fight vs. former UFC fighter Mike Jackson. Miletich appeared at the press conference hours after his arrest and went on to lose the October 2023 bout when he did not come out for the third round.

The conviction was later overturned after she failed to appear in court. Hardy also was arrested in 2016 on a charge of cocaine possession. Hardy was a star pass rusher in the NFL from 2010 to 2015. He received a second chance to play for the Dallas Cowboys after his domestic violence conviction was overturned. After his NFL career ended, Hardy transitioned to mixed martial arts and made two appearances on Dana White's Contender Series in 2018 before his UFC debut in January 2019. At the time, White defended Hardy's place in the UFC and was agitated when asked about his checkered past. Hardy posted a 4-5 record with one no contest in the UFC. He finished on a three-fight losing streak after being knocked out in all three of those losses. Hardy has since competed in boxing and bareknuckle boxing, suffering multiple knockouts.
