Former Texas A&M Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Florida.
Maryland co-offensive coordinator pleaded not guilty and waived arraignment. He faces a charge that carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail. According to the report, Sumlin refused a breathalyzer test, which could result in a suspended license for a year.
The Terrapins were on a bye week at the time of the arrest, which occurred around 1 a.m. on Saturday in Tampa.
Taylor Lyons of The Diamondback, the University of Maryland’s independent student newspaper, broke the news late Monday night.
“Maryland Athletics is aware of the incident this past weekend involving football coach Kevin Sumlin,” the university said in a statement. “As this is an ongoing investigation, we will have no further comment.”
Sumlin’s mug shot would soon be released.
