According to court records obtained by TMZ Sports, Cleveland pleaded guilty earlier this month to one count of DUI stemming from his February arrest. Police said he was pulled over after driving erratically and registered a .178 on a breathalyzer — more than double the legal limit.

The 27-year-old was sentenced to 12 months of probation, along with 40 hours of community service to be completed within six months.

He must also attend a DUI Risk Reduction course, take part in a victim impact panel and avoid alcohol or non-prescribed drugs during the probation period. A 24-hour jail sentence was waived after he received credit for time served.

Police documents from the arrest say Cleveland admitted to drinking "approximately 3-4 beers" at a local country club before getting behind the wheel.

Cleveland is in his fifth NFL season after being selected in the third round by Baltimore in 2021. The Ravens brought him back on a one-year deal in March. The team has not yet commented on the case.

The Ravens (4-5) are inching closer to the Steelers (5-5) in the AFC North standings entering Sunday's game against the hapless Browns. Baltimore has won three straight after a 1-5 start.
