As the calendar gets set to flip from July to August, it’s time to, once again, reset the “Days Without An Arrest” ticker back to double zeroes.
According to KNWA-TV in Fayetteville, Arkansas football player Ryder Lucas was arrested Sunday morning on a charge of driving while intoxicated. Additionally, the fifth-year senior defensive back is facing one count of careless/prohibited driving.
Lucas was pulled over by police after he was seen drifting left of center and nearly hitting a bridge abutment. From the television station’s report:Lucas had a flushed face, bloodshot and watery eyes, and a strong odor of intoxicants coming off of his breath and person,” the preliminary report states.
The officer asked Lucas if he had consumed any alcohol, and he told the officer he had consumed whiskey. He then showed the bottle of alcohol to the officer.
The 22-year-old Lucas’ BAC was .09, just above the legal limit of .08.
Lucas played in 31 games the past three seasons after taking a redshirt as a true freshman in 2014. This past season, his 12 tackles on special teams were tops on the Razorbacks.
