Oklahoma State football running back Ollie Gordon II was arrested on accusations of driving under the influence early on Sunday, The Oklahoman has confirmed.
As first reported by Tulsa’s News On 6 on Monday night — citing a probable cause affidavit from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol — Gordon was pulled over on Interstate 35 near SW 19th Street in Moore, south of Oklahoma City, after a trooper reported Gordon driving 82 mph in a 65 mph speed limit zone and twice swerving in and out of his lane.

According to the officer’s report obtained by The Oklahoman, the trooper who pulled Gordon over at roughly 2:30 a.m. reported smelling “an odor associated with an alcoholic beverage” from Gordon, who is 20 years old. Gordon reportedly denied drinking, saying he had been around friends who were. He then refused to take a field sobriety test before telling the trooper he had consumed one alcoholic beverage, the report shows.
The trooper then asked Gordon whether he had any alcohol in the vehicle, to which Gordon replied he had two open containers of liquor, the report stated. The trooper then reported finding “a half-full bottle of lemonade vodka and a half-full bottle of tequila,” according to documents.
Per the report, the trooper again asked Gordon whether he would take a field sobriety test, which he again refused. He was then arrested on complaints of DUI under the age of 21, transporting an open container of alcohol, failing to manage a single lane of traffic and speeding 16-20 mph over the speed limit.
Tests revealed Gordon had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .11 and .10 when tested twice at the jail, the report stated. The legal drinking limit in the state of Oklahoma is a .08 BAC for persons age 21 and over.
