BRIEFLY : RAMS' PHILLIPS COULD BE JAILED IF CONVICTED.Lawrence Phillips could go to jail instead of his first NFL training camp following his arrest for drunk driving. Phillips, the St. Louis Rams' top draft pick who's on probation for assaulting a former girlfriend, was arrested Thursday by CHP officers. Police said the North Hills resident was driving 80 mph on a flat tire and straddling freeway lanes shortly after 2 a.m. According to Gary Lacey, the Nebraska attorney who prosecuted Phillips, said the running back could go to jail if he is convicted of drunk driving and a Nebraska judge decides to impose such a penalty for violating his probation. ``He could get a jail term if all of that happens,'' Lacey said Friday. ``If Phillips is convicted, chances are good that we will file for revocation of his probation.'' A jail term for Phillips is possible based on the maximum penalties for the assault and trespassing charges related to last year's attack on his former girlfriend. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $500 fine.
