DENVER -- Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer formally agreed to a plea deal Friday after being accused of damaging the license plate holder of another driver during a road rage incident.

Plummer accepted deferred prosecution, which means he won't be charged with wrongdoing if he stays out of trouble for the next nine months.

Plummer, who declined comment, was issued a summons last May after he was accused of kicking a headlight of Douglas Stone's 1992 Ford Ranger, then backing his SUV into the other vehicle.

Plummer acknowledged cutting off the truck, driven by the 47-year-old Stone of Denver, but said he waved and apologized. Plummer said he got out of his SUV only after Stone blared his horn and then tapped the bumper of Plummer's truck.

"I'm borrowing a line from Shakespeare: It's much ado about nothing," said Plummer's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, who paid the $26 in restitution and a $50 court fee himself.

Stone has described the incident as minor and said all he wanted was restitution for the broken license plate holder and an admission from Plummer that he played a role in the encounter.

Pretty soon theyre gonna build a special prison just for NFL players. Its has to be about twice the size of alcatrazz considering the inductees seemingly every day. At least Maurice Clarrett would have someone to talk to!
