PHOENIX (AP) _ Country singer Glen Campbell pleaded guilty Monday to extreme drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident.

Under the plea agreement in Maricopa County Superior Court, Campbell faces 10 days in jail when he is formally sentenced June 14. He'll be eligible for work furlough after 48 hours and is expected to serve 75 hours of community service under the deal.


An aggravated assault charge was dropped.

Campbell was arrested in November near his Phoenix home after leaving the scene of a minor traffic accident. He was accused of kneeing a police officer after being taken into custody. The officer wasn't hurt.

Extreme drunken driving applies to a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or higher. Police said breath tests on Campbell showed he had a 0.20 blood-alcohol level at the time of his arrest. The legal limit for Arizona drivers is 0.08.

The 68-year-old singer has lived in Arizona for more than two decades. His hits include ``Rhinestone Cowboy,'' ``Galveston,'' ``Gentle on My Mind'' and ``By the Time I Get to Phoenix.''
