Williams arrested after DWI on Saturday night
Williams’ arrest late Saturday night may knock another Razorback out of Outback Bowl against Penn State.
Arkansas might be down another player against Penn State in the Outback Bowl this New Year’s Day.
Defensive end Tre Williams, who burst into the national spotlight with a dominating performance against Texas early in the season, was arrested for a DWI last night.
Williams was officially booked at 1:50 a.m. by the Fayetteville police.
Williams is responsible for six of Arkansas’s 22 sacks on the season. He produced personal season highs twice with a pair of sacks against Texas A&M and another two against Mississippi State in key wins.
The incident took place at 1:11 a.m. on Sunday when Williams was found asleep at the wheel in the McDonald’s drive through on West Martin Luther King Boulevard with the vehicle running and in park.
After a field sobriety test, it was determined Williams was too intoxicated to operate a vehicle. Williams was then transported to Washington County Detention Center where he registered a BAC of .09. He was later released on bond, which was set at $765.00. Williams is scheduled for a hearing Monday morning.
