Former UW and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Warren Moon pleads guilty to negligent driving in Redmond, Wash. on Monday, August 6, 2007.

KIRKLAND, Wash. – Former Seattle Seahawks and Washington Huskies quarterback Warren Moon pleaded not guilty Monday to DUI, stemming from an arrest in December.

According to court records, Moon's arraignment, which was scheduled for Tuesday, was moved up at his lawyer's request.  Moon's next scheduled court date is a pre-trial hearing on March 31 in Kirkland Municipal Court.

Moon, 51, was pulled over by Medina Police around 2 a.m. on December 28 on State Route 520.  He was initially stopped for having expired tabs on his car. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI, then processed and released from a Kirkland police station.

His attorneys say the car was a loaner from a dealer and that Moon didn't know the tabs were expired.  They claim the ticket for the expired tabs has been paid.

In addition, Moon was reportedly driving with a suspended Washington license, but had a valid Texas driver's license.  Moon's attorneys say the information about the suspended license was "erroneous" from the Department of Licensing's computer and that the information has been corrected.

Last year, Moon pleaded guilty to negligent driving after being arrested for possible DUI in April 2007.  After being taken to the police station that night, he blew a .068 and a .067 which are below the legal limit in Washington State of .08.

Moon, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, currently is a commentator for Seattle Seahawks radio broadcasts.
