Oklahoma State star running back Ollie Gordon II was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence outside Oklahoma City, according to multiple reports.
Gordon was pulled over by an Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) officer early Sunday morning for driving 82 mph in a 65 mph zone and swerving through traffic, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by multiple outlets.
During the traffic stop, the trooper found open bottles of vodka and tequila in Gordon’s car, and Gordon said he had “one drink,” according to KOCO, the ABC affiliate in Oklahoma City, which obtained the affidavit.
Gordon was then taken to the Cleveland County jail in Oklahoma, where he provided breath samples that registered a breath alcohol content (BrAC) of .11 and .10. Gordon was booked on charges of DUI under 21 years of age, having an open alcohol container, failure to maintain a single driving lane and speeding, according to KOCO. He was released on bond, per the report.
An athletic department spokesperson from Oklahoma State University told The Athletic that the university is aware of the incident reports but had no comment as of late Monday night.
Gordon was a first-team All-American in 2023 and given the Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the best running back in college football.
