Moeller, wearing a dark suit, answered District Judge Bryan Levy's questions clearly and calmly, entering pleas for both misdemeanor charges from his April 28 arrest.
Moeller, 54, faces up to a $100 fine and 90 days in jail on each count when sentenced May 31. But Amy Bowen, the Oakland County, Mich., assistant prosecutor, said she did not expect him to be jailed, because of his record and community standing.

The University of Miami is reviewing its drug policy and test results to determine if former football coach Dennis Erickson withheld players' positive results.

Knicks' Mason named top Sixth Man
Anthony Mason, a muscular forward who consistently gave the New York Knicks a lift this season, won the NBA Sixth Man Award.
Mason received 47 of a possible 105 votes from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Charlotte's Dell Curry, who won the award last year, was second with 18 votes, followed by San Antonio's Chuck Person with 12.
Mason, who was suspended for five games in March after a dispute with coach Pat Riley, came off the bench in 66 of the 77 games he played, averaging 9.9 points, a career-high 8.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
Nashville, Tenn., Mayor Phil Bredesen wants Metro council members to approve in concept funds designed to draw a professional hockey team and possibly a pro basketball team to an arena being built in the city.
On Monday, he asked members to approve a ``letter of understanding'' at a May 16 council meeting.
Bredesen wants the city to ante up $4 million, along with Gaylord Entertainment and an unspecified pro franchise, to form a venture management group that would provide seed money for the transition. Gaylord Entertainment owns the Opryland USA complex and is seeking a pro team.
