Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II was arrested on Sunday for suspicion of DUI and speeding in Cleveland County, Okla., according to multiple reports.
A “half-full bottle of lemonade vodka and a half-full bottle of tequila” were discovered in his vehicle, according to an affidavit of the incident detailed by ABC affiliate KOCO News 5 , and troopers stated Gordon was driving 82 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The 20-year-old running back initially told the trooper he had not been drinking, but upon denying a field sobriety test, he claimed he had one beverage, KOCO News 5 reported .
