The University of Kentucky Athletics Department released a statement Monday regarding the DUI arrest of UK assistant basketball coach Rod Strickland.
According to police reports, they arrested Strickland just before 3 a.m. Sunday at Tates Creek and New Circle Road. The report says an officer saw Strickland run a red light at the intersection, nearly striking another vehicle. Investigators say he failed a field sobriety test, including standing on one leg, walking and turning, and reciting ABCs. Strickland refused a breathalizer and had the smell of alcohol on his breath.
A statement from DeWayne Peevy of UK Media Relations on Monday morning read, "This is a legal matter and we are still gathering information about the alleged incident. We take such allegations seriously and will handle appropriately once the facts are known."
Strickland, a former NBA star, has three previous DUI arrests, according to ABC News. The last was a 2001 incident in Virginia. According to the ABC news report, Strickland was convicted in 1998 for the same charge, and complete a year probation and 30 hours of community service. In 1999, he was acquitted of charges relating to driving drunk in Washington.
