MINNETONKA, Minn. - Minnesota Vikings Daunte Culpepper, Bryant McKinnie and Fred Smoot have pleaded not guilty to charges related to the team's fall bawdy boating party.
A court clerk on Wednesday said that an attorney for Smoot entered a plea Tuesday in Hennepin County District Court and that pleas for Culpepper and McKinnie were entered late last month.
Culpepper, McKinnie, Smoot and teammate Moe Williams face three misdemeanor charges each related to the Oct. 6 party on Lake Minnetonka. They were charged with indecent conduct, disorderly conduct and lewd or lascivious conduct.
Williams' attorney, Joe Friedberg, said he will enter a plea of not guilty today.
The clerk said the players waived initial court appearances scheduled today. A pretrial conference was set for Feb. 2.
