ARAPAHOE COUNTY — Von Miller’s legal troubles have come to an end with nothing more than fines and fees.

The Broncos’ strongside linebacker pleaded guilty — through his lawyer — to minor traffic violations in an Arapahoe County District courtroom Thursday afternoon.

Miller did not appear in person.

Seven points were removed from his license.

All other charges against Miller, stemming from multiple traffic violations, were dropped.

Miller, 24, pleaded guilty to a lane change violation and speeding 10 to 19 mph over the posted limit, according to court records.

Before entering his pleas, Miller completed community service and a driver’s course.

Miller was arrested last August at the Centennial Gun Club — a firearms shop — on a failure to appear warrant.

Court documents show Miller failed to appear for a court hearing on a charge from October 2012 when he was cited for careless driving, driving without a license and no proof of insurance.

Miller was in trouble again in September after getting cited by law enforcement for driving without a license and speeding.

Miller missed the first six games of the regular season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

Miller tore his anterior cruciate ligament during the Broncos‘ victory over the Houston Texans, ending his season. He has since had surgery to repair the damage.
