Not a good weekend for college football here in the state.
Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon has been arrested on a driving under the influence complaint in Carrollton, Texas, early Tuesday morning, police there confirmed to the Tulsa World.
Blackmon, who is not 21 years old, and three friends were returning to Oklahoma after attending the Dallas Cowboys game in Arlington, Texas, when they were pulled over for going 92 mph in a 60 mph zone, the newspaper reported. Former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant plays for Dallas.
"There were field sobriety tests given on the side of the road," Dustin Bartram, the public information officer for the Carrollton Police Department, said, according to the Tulsa World. "The officer determined that there was a detectable amount [of alcohol] on [Blackmon]."
In Texas, if authorities deem that a minor has been drinking any alcohol and driving, that person is considered to be driving under the influence.
Blackmon posted a $375 bond and was released at 8:06 a.m. CT, according to the newspaper. The passengers in the car were not arrested.
Blackmon is having a huge year on the field for the Cowboys (No. 17 BCS, No. 20 AP). The sophomore has 62 receptions for 1,112 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is expected to address the media later Tuesday. The Cowboys face Kansas State in a Big 12 battle on Saturday.
