Former Florida Gator DE Carlos Dunlap showed up in court today where he pled guilty and now has sixth months probation and 50 hours of community service for his DUI charge back on the first of December.

Dunlap was booked on Dec. 1, just four days before the big SEC Championship game against Alabama. Coach Urban Meyer suspended Dunlap for the game which Florida ended up losing 32-13 but he did return for the Sugar Bowl against Cincinatti.

Along with the probation and community service, Dunlap will also have to pay for the court costs and will have to attend DUI school. The Orlando Sentinel  reported that Dunlaps lawyer Huntley Johnson said the case wasn’t indefensible but Dunlap wanted to accept his responsibility and move on.

Dunlap is getting ready for the 2010 NFL draft and is projected to be a first-round pick, even after the incident.

“It was his decision to accept responsibility for his actions,” Johnson said. “I gave him my analysis of the case – I’m not going to say it wasn’t defensible. I respect his decision.”

Dunlap played 13 games this past season and recorded 38 tackles, 10.5 of them for a loss, and 9 sacks.
