Stanford linebacker Skov arrested for DUI


STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- In a rarity for a prestigious academics university that prides itself on a higher standard, Stanford had a player get into trouble with the law.
Star linebacker Shayne Skov was arrested and jailed last weekend for driving under the influence.
A Stanford University Department of Public Safety spokesman said Skov was arrested for driving under the influence Sunday at about 2 a.m. The incident, first reported by The Stanford Daily student newspaper Monday night, occurred on campus.
Skov was pulled over in the parking lot of his dormitory after his vehicle swerved several times, SUDPS spokesman Bill Larson said. Skov was booked at the Santa Clara County jail, he said, and the case is being turned over to the Palo Alto District Attorney's office.
"We have an expected standard of excellence and conduct for our players and Shayne failed to adhere to those standards," Stanford coach David Shaw said in a statement released through a team spokesman. "It's a matter we are taking very seriously. Shayne will be responsible to adhere to any legal responsibilities regarding this event along with ramifications which will be determined by the program."
Skov's signature Mohawk and liberal display of eye black made him the unquestioned face and leader of Stanford's defense.
Skov led the Cardinal with 84 tackles and had 7 1/2 sacks two years ago. He tore a ligament in his left knee in the third game of the 2011 season, sidelining him for the year and likely through most of spring practice.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A University of Kentucky football linebacker was arrested on a felony drug charge in Louisville over the weekend. Police say they were conducting a routine patrol on W. Oak Street, near 6th Street, early Sunday morning when they noticed a vehicle with an Indiana license plate on the side of the road.
"The area is known for drug trafficking and drug use," police say.
According to the arrest report, the officer saw a man leaning down in the driver seat with no lights on in the inside of the vehicle. The officer then pulled over to see what the man was doing.
That man turned out to be 21-year-old Ridge A. Wilson.

Wilson allowed officers to search his vehicle. That's when police say they found a pair of jeans in the back seat with a bag of Xanax pills. They also allegedly found $1,947 in the jeans he was wearing.
Wilson was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, a felony.
