Stig Arrested for DUI

Re: Stig Arreates for DUI

Obviously out of character unless there's some secret demon he's been battling and hiding quite well from us. However, if a player had this happen, there's going to be a suspension and a scholarship reduction. Only fair that he at least donates a game check to something, FCA, AA, Scholarship Fund, University, etc.

I'm going to look at his entire body of work at SDSU not one incident.

KELOland reporting a BAC of .08.

"blood-alcohol content was recorded at or above 0.08 percent in a blood test"

It could have been higher than .08

Re: Stig Arreates for DUI

Suspension did occur as well as a long talk with my parents and I after the banquet. Fortunately he didn't revoke my scholarship, but I was on a very short leash after that.

I was suspended from team activities until I performed a set number of hours of community service and went to a set number of AA classes.

I was back for spring ball.

Not sure what he could suspend himself from. His best course of action may be to go speak at an AA type meeting.

along with the community service he already does, my guess he will use this as a positive with the team, and I doubt any players would have a grudge if he wasn't suspended. Who knows what will happen over the next few months, but I suspect it would be a little different then if it happened the week before a game.

If he would suspend a player a game for doing this, he needs to suspend himself.

Re: Stig Arreates for DUI

I understand your point but from a PR standpoint, this just needs to go away. Suspending himself for the next game in September will just drag this on for another 6 months.

From a PR standpoint, what would be better way to highlight the dangers of driving drunk than by suspending yourself for a game? I'm with 2002jack, if this happens to a player there are repercussions beyond the court system. Why should it be any different for the head coach?

Re: Stig Arreates for DUI

Not sure, but I think they do both. When I was in this situation in Brookings County in January of 1999 we did both. But I blew a .226.

Right, if I remember correctly, they do the blood test after they take you back to the station so it could have been a bit after the arrest was actually made.

Re: Stig Arreates for DUI

So, there was zero question whether you should have been driving!


I agree that some people at 0.08 likely don't feel intoxicated and overlooking it like Stig claims in completely plausible. Still not an excuse, especially for someone in his position. Now, if he had blown a .16 or something his claim goes out the window.

Oh yes. I knew it, the passenger knew, and the cop knew it. I learned a hard lesson that night. Stig was the first person I told about it. Longest walk I ever took was from Young Hall to the HPER the following Monday morning.

I heard he tried to Turnover in the wrong lane.

Swing and a miss.
