Under the plea agreement in Maricopa County Superior Court, Campbell was sentenced to 10 days in jail. He will be eligible for work furlough after 48 hours and will serve 75 hours of community service.
An aggravated assault charge was dropped.
Campbell was arrested in November near his Phoenix home after leaving the scene of a minor traffic accident. He was accused of kneeing a police officer after being taken into custody. The officer wasn't hurt.
Extreme drunken driving applies to a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or higher. Police said breath tests on Campbell showed he had a 0.20 blood-alcohol level at the time of his arrest. The legal limit for Arizona drivers is 0.08.
He has blamed his arrest on the accidental mixing of alcohol and a prescription anti-anxiety drug.
The 68-year-old singer has lived in Arizona for more than two decades. His hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Galveston," "Gentle on My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix."
