Pouncey clears up legal trouble

Projected starting center Maurkice Pouncey has paid the $94 fine for his traffic citation from two weeks ago, and is in no further legal trouble, Alachua County court records show.

Pouncey received a traffic citation on July 20 for holding or consuming an alcoholic beverage when
the 2003 Chevrolet sedan he was riding in was pulled over by an officer because it did not have a tag light.

The 19-year-old Lakeland native had possession of an open can of Natural Light beer when the officer approached the car.

He paid his fine on Thursday, and traffic court records show the case as resolved. Florida coach Urban Meyer has not said whether Pouncey will face any disciplinary action.

Pouncey played in 13 games as a freshman last season, starting 12 at guard. Florida begins fall practice on Monday.
