OSU star running back arrested for DUI

CLEVELAND COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) — Oklahoma State University's star running back was arrested by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol on charges including drunken driving early Sunday morning.

According to an affidavit, Ollie Gordon II was stopped by an OHP trooper around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 30, after the trooper allegedly clocked Gordon's car going 82 mph on southbound I-35 near SW 19th Street. The posted speed limit in that area is 65 mph.

When the officer approached Gordon's car during the traffic stop, he reportedly smelled a strong odor of alcohol and the officer asked him to return to the patrol car.

According to the affidavit, Gordon denied drinking alcohol before driving, but said his friends had been drinking. Gordon allegedly refused to take a sobriety test before admitting to having a drink.

After apparently telling the officer he had open containers in his car, the officer found two bottles of alcohol in the car.

Gordon then allegedly refused to take a sobriety test again and was arrested for driving while intoxicated under the age of 21, carrying open containers of alcohol, failing to maintain a single lane of traffic and speeding 16 to 20 mph over the speed limit.

Gordon was booked into the Cleveland County Jail after his arrest and blew a .11 and .10 breathalyzer test, according to the affidavit.
