A Hennepin County District Court judge has sentenced National Hockey League standout Dustin Byfuglien, 27, to two days in the county workhouse for a boating incident on Lake Minnetonka last summer. Byfuglien and his lawyers agreed to deal with county attorneys Monday, entering a guilty plea to a misdemeanor careless boating charge and avoiding trial.

A boat piloted by Byfuglien was stopped around 8:15 p.m. on the evening of Aug. 31 for improper navigational lighting.

Dustin Byfuglien was arrested last summer after being stopped by a water patrol unit on Lake Minnetonka.
Attorneys representing an NHL star charged with boating while intoxicated on Lake Minnetonka last summer were unable to reach a plea deal with Hennepin County prosecutors this week—setting the stage for a jury trial scheduled to begin July 23. Dustin Byfuglien, 27, was arrested last August after a water patrol unit stopped his boat on Excelsior Bay.
