Lincoln police cite Brent Musburger on alcohol chargeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — ABC Sports' play-by-play man Brent Musburger was cited by Lincoln police Saturday evening for having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle and drinking from it, a police captain said Sunday.
Capt. Allen Soukup said Musburger was cited at 6:10 p.m. Saturday on a public street just west of Memorial Stadium. Musburger was a passenger in the car and was drinking a beer, Soukup said — a Budweiser.
Musburger, 66, had just finished broadcasting the Huskers' game against the University of Pittsburgh.
He was one of several people who were cited for similar alcohol offenses Saturday, Soukup said.
The fine, if Musburger chooses not to fight the citation, is $144, the captain said.
Efforts to reach Musburger through ABC Sports headquarters in New York were unsuccessful.
An ABC Sports spokesman did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
