Panthers wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett pleaded not guilty Friday to driving while impaired. Although Jarrett did not attend a hearing Friday, his attorney entered the plea.
A trial date is set for June 23.
Jarrett, the team's second-round draft pick out of USC in 2007, was arrested on March 11 after when he allegedly ran a red light in Mint Hill. According to the police report, Jarrett's blood-alcohol level was 0.12, above North Carolina's legal limit of 0.08.
