Gary Pinkel Arrested for DWI

COLUMBIA - KOMU 8 has confirmed Boone County sheriff deputies arrested MU football coach Gary Pinkel Wednesday night for DWI. Pinkel posted a $500 bond and was released from the Boone County Jail.

Deputies pulled Pinkel over for lane and signal violations on Keene Street near Broadway around 10 p.m. The sheriff's department said this is Pinkel's first offense, and deputies said he was cooperative.

Chief Deputy Tom Reddin said Pinkel's name did not appear on the Boone County Sheriff's Department 0700 report due to a computer glitch.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha..........................what a fortuitous computer glitch.........................(any of those ever happen to anyone else?)

Oh well, just getting in his prep work for the SEC..............

 
its funny cuz over on tiggerboard they are saying that the police shouldnt have pulled him over in the first place because he is the head coach of the university and they are somehow targeting their players and coaches! basically saying driving drunk is ok...

 
from what i have heard, it seems like the punishments given by the university is rather harsh. anyone know his bac or any other specifics. i genuinely feel sorry for him and his poor judgment in this instance.

 
From multiple sources on Twitter, and the AP:

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri has suspended coach Gary Pinkel for Saturday's game and frozen his salary for a year following his overnight arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.


Athletic director Mike Alden announced the disciplinary measures on Thursday afternoon. They include a total of some $300,000 in penalties, including a donation to a campus alcohol-awareness program, and 50 hours of community service.

He will miss Saturday's home game between Missouri (5-5) and Texas Tech.

Boone County Sheriff's Office records show that deputies pulled Pinkel over in Columbia and jailed him Wednesday night. He was released from jail after posting a $500 bond. A county prosecutor said that no decision had been made about filing formal criminal charges.

Also hearing that Pinkel's salary is frozen for a year, 50 hours of community service and no bowl bonus.

i got to imagine missing senior day will hurt quite a bit. $300,000 in fines? wow, they are not missing around. again, seems harsh to me, but i do not know the whole story. meanwhile, joe-pa is trying to get his half-a-mil a year pension instated.
