LINCOLN - Nebraska tight end Hunter Teafatiller remains active in preseason football camp after he was arrested Saturday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Teafatiller, a 20-year-old junior from Kingsburg, Calif., faces disciplinary action within the program, coach Bill Callahan said Tuesday, in addition to any legal penalties.
"Our football program takes a situation like this very seriously," Callahan said in a statement released by NU.
According to Deb Collins of the Nebraska State Patrol, Teafatiller was stopped near Third and Adams Street when a trooper noticed he was driving without headlights. Administered a breathalyzer test, Teafatillers blood-alcohol level was 0.97, above the legal limit of 0.8.
Teafatiller was also ticketed for minor in possession and for having no insurance or valid registration.
On May 26, he was cited for DUI and MIP by the Lincoln Police. The Lancaster County attorney's office said Tuesday it declined to prosecute in that case.
Teafatiller, a reserve, caught five passes for 78 yards and four touchdowns last season, including the Huskers lone score in the Big 12 championship game
