Ducks suspend tackle cited for DUII
EUGENE, Ore. - The Ducks indefinitely suspended a senior defensive tackle who was cited for DUII "pending clarification of an incident that occurred Friday morning in Eugene," head football Coach Chip Kelly said in a press release.
Kelly did not describe the incident or how senior defensive tackle Isaac Remington was involved.
Eugene Police told KVAL News an officer cited Remington for driving under the influence of intoxicants after a traffic stop at 12:30 a.m. at 12th and Kincaid.
A police spokeswoman did not know what kind of intoxicant.
Remington was cited and released and wasn't booked into the Lane County Jail, police said.
Remington, a native of Phoenix, Ariz., is tied for third on the team in tackles for loss with four for minus 13 yards among his 12 tackles in six games, including four stops earlier this year against the University of Arizona.
Does this actually surprise anyone?
"intoxicants" That could be any kind of prescription or illegal drugs or inhalants or all sorts of things except alcohol. I'll wait until more informaiton surfaces before I throw him under the bus, which is what Kelly seems to be doing. As both a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, I have seen cases where a police officer arrests someone who is not guilty of anything except 'contempt of cop'.Â
This guy will be playing on sunday...enough said.
He's lucky he only got suspended and cited with DUII instead of living a significant portion of his adult life in prison for killing someone. Â What a lucky idiot.Â
suspend all the steroid enhanced gladiatorial meat-heads.
@Nogod You can bet if it was one of the star players they would have gotten off with a "stern talking to".  Â

Pretty selective with the punishment, Mr. Kelly.
