Nebraska defensive end Eric Martin was ordered to pay a $50 fine after he pleaded guilty to a careless driving charge in Lancaster County Court. This goes back to a December incident in a Walmart parking lot, in which Lincoln police cited Martin on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident and failing to provide information. The 20 year old Martin is a senior on the Husker football team. He had 23 total tackles and 2½ sacks in 12 games during the 2011 season.
