Iowa Lineman Arrested for Mo-peding While Drunk

Kyle CallowayDES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Iowa offensive lineman Kyle Calloway has been arrested and charged with operating a mo-ped while intoxicated.

Iowa City police say Calloway was arrested early Saturday after officers stopped him while he was driving into a barricaded area.

Police say the 22-year-old senior was given a breath test, which registered 0.106. The legal limit in Iowa is 0.08.

Iowa City Police Sgt. Mike Lord says Calloway cooperated and acknowledged he drank seven or eight beers.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement released by the university that he was "disappointed to learn of (Calloway's) poor judgment."

Calloway has started 25 straight games for Iowa. Ferentz said Calloway's discipline will include a "game suspension," counseling and community service.
