Nebraska safety Myles Famer was arrested by Lincoln police over the weekend for driving under the influence. LPD Sergeant Chris Vollmer says around 12:30 a.m. Sunday Farmer was stopped by an LPD officer at 10 and P Street for failing to use a turn signal.
LPD says the officer observed signs of impairment and additional tests were conducted. Police say Farmer had a blood alcohol content of .123 and was cited and released for DUI and failing to use a turn signal.
Interim head coach Mickey Joseph issued a statement Tuesday:
“I was informed on Sunday morning of an incident involving Myles Farmer this weekend. Myles is a good young man, but understands he used poor judgement and made a mistake on Saturday night. The result of poor judgement and mistakes is consequences and discipline. In addition to penalties he may face through the legal system, Myles is suspended for this week’s game at Michigan and will be subject to internal discipline.”
Farmer, in his fourth year at Nebraska, is the team’s second-leading tackler.
