A University of Texas at Austin football player has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested early Sunday morning and charged with driving drunk.
Authorities said freshman kick returner D.J. Monroe was pulled over around 1 a.m. Sunday on Interstate-35 near Kyle, because he was driving erratically.
He was then arrested for driving while intoxicated and taken to the Hays County Jail. Monroe was released later Sunday morning, after posting bond.
"We're disappointed anytime one of our players is accused of wrongdoing," UT Head Coach Mack Brown said. "We have talked to D.J. and his family and have decided to suspend him indefinitely, pending the completion of the legal process."
Few details about the circumstances of his arrest have been released.
Monroe has two kickoff returns for touchdowns this season.
