ST. PETER, Minn. -- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson will have to serve 90 days in jail for fleeing police last August, a prosecutor said.

Robinson was sentenced in Nicollet County Court on Tuesday for leading officers on a high-speed chase from St. Peter to Mankato during Vikings training camp. Robinson was a Viking in 2005.

Assistant County Attorney Paul Tanis said Robinson will be on probation for three years. He'll also have to do 80 hours of community service and pay a $1,500 fine.

Robinson spent the 2001-04 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

Tanis said Robinson is to report to the county jail by March 1, although he can arrange to serve the 90-day sentence in Wisconsin if he chooses to do so.

Robinson can also serve the sentence at the same time he serves 90 days for violating his probation in a separate drunken-driving case in Kirkland, Wash., last year.

Robinson showed remorse in court Tuesday -- saying he's been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and trying to avoid alcohol.

TRYING??? He's been TRYING to avoid alcohol. He should be seeing alcohol the same way as the rest of us see bird flu right about now.
