Ex-Dallas Cowboys star Darren McFadden will be spending time behind bars … TMZ Sports has learned the former running back just pled guilty in his drunken Whataburger case.
We broke the story … back in January 2019, cops say McFadden was asleep at the wheel of his 2019 GMC Yukon in the drive-thru of a Whataburger in Texas.
Officials say after officers confronted him, McFadden resisted … and in the scuffle, Darren’s driver’s side and passenger windows were smashed in.
Authorities eventually hit McFadden with charges of resisting arrest and DWI with a BAC of greater than or equal to .15 … but we’ve learned the 32-year-old reached a plea deal last week to close out the case.
According to court records, McFadden pled guilty to drunk driving … and in exchange, his resisting arrest charge was dismissed.
As for his punishment in the deal with prosecutors … court docs show he’s been ordered to spend 4 days in jail, although he did receive credit for 1 day of time served.
McFadden was also forced to pay fines and fees as part of the agreement … and his driver’s license will be suspended for 90 days.
We reached out to McFadden’s attorney, who confirmed the case’s disposition … but declined to comment otherwise.
McFadden was a superstar at Arkansas before he was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Darren went on to play 7 seasons with the Raiders and 3 more with the Cowboys, before retiring in 2017.
