Arkansas senior defensive end Austin Flynn was arrested early Wednesday and charged with driving while intoxicated, careless driving and no proof of insurance, according to the Washington County Detention Center website.
Flynn, 22, was pulled over shortly after 1 a.m. by Fayetteville police near Huntsville and Happy Hollow roads after he was observed driving 40 mph in a 25 mph zone, according to reports. Police said Flynn?s blood alcohol content was .14, nearly twice the .08 legal limit. He was released from the Washington County Detention Center at 9:15 a.m. after posting a $1,075 bond.
Flynn is the ninth Arkansas football player arrested since last March, but is the first since the December hiring of new head football coach Bret Bielema.
?I am aware of the situation involving Austin Flynn, and I am disappointed in his actions,? Bielema said in a statement. ?I will review the matter and it will be handled swiftly and decisively.
?Our student-athletes will understand there will be discipline in our program and will learn the responsibility they have in representing Arkansas in the right way. We will hold our student-athletes accountable for their actions at all times and character and integrity will always be a priority. Within our program, we will learn just as many life lessons through our failures as we will through our future success.?
