Dak Prescott arrested for DUI in Starkville

[night]

STARKVILLE — Former Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with driving under the influence, Starkville Police Chief Frank Nichols told The Clarion-Ledger.

The arrest occurred near the Cotton District in Starkville at 12:45 a.m. Police pulled over Prescott in a white 2016 Cadillac Escalade. He was released on bond. No further details were immediately available.

Prescott's representation, Pro Sports Management, refused comment on the situation when asked multiple times Saturday.

Prescott spent Saturday morning hosting a camp that more than 200 children attended at Starkville High School. He was in Starkville for the school's pro day on Thursday, throwing in front of scouts from 30 of the 32 NFL teams. He met with all of them at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, and the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks are all believed to have interest in Prescott. He was expected to visit with the Buffalo Bill prior to the draft.

The arrest comes about two months from the NFL draft at the end of April. The quarterback is projected as a second- or third-round pick after winning the Senior Bowl MVP and working out at the NFL combine last month.

It's unclear at this point how much this arrest will affect Prescott's NFL draft stock, though certainly one of his positive traits for the image-conscious NFL was his image as a good character athlete.

dammit young man!

should have hired someone to do the driving in that new vehicle for you, until draft day is over.

I'm hoping it pushes him down to the 3rd or 4th round

 

[cowboycolors]

he might go lower than that

Mayock had him sitting #5 on the QB boards, it's drinking not drugs, so he might not take that big hit on this!

He's going to be pissed he cost himself so much time, money and hassle. Should have Ubered. He'll figure that out eventually.

I'd be utterly shocked if there's Uber in Starkville. Do they even have cars? I think it's all pickups there.

In the post I was responding to he said Dak should hire someone to drive for him until draft day. I said he could afford to after as well.

He is not officially hired by an NFL team so no he does not go into the drug program. This happened for Shane Ray last year getting caught with Weed a week before the draft. He is not in the drug program but obviously it hurt his draft stock going from for sure top-10 pick to the mid-20's.

How the hell did Prescott get a 2016 Cadillac Escalade?

I think the guys who are projected to be drafted somewhat highly are given loans by their agents to have some spending money before their contract is signed.
