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.
