Williams arrested for DWI, later opts out of bowl game

FAYETTEVILLE — Tre Williams, the University of Arkansas’ top pass rusher, was arrested early Sunday and charged with suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Later Sunday, Williams issued a public apology for the incident and announced he was opting out of the Razorbacks’ appearance in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1.

Williams, 24, was found asleep in his vehicle in the drive-through lane of McDonald’s on Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd., with the car in park after police responded to a call at 1:11 a.m., according to the Fayetteville Police Department’s arrest report.

Police conducted a field sobriety test on the scene and determined Williams was too impaired to drive and placed him under arrest.
