COLUMBUS (AP) — Authorities say a University football player has been arrested on a charge of drunken driving.

A campus police report shows defensive tackle Doug Worthington was charged with two counts of driving under the influence when he was arrested a few blocks from Ohio Stadium about 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

The Buffalo, N.Y., native who is less than two weeks shy of his 21st birthday also received two traffic tickets. Police said he was going 41 mph in a 25 mph zone and also cited him for an alleged registration violation.

Worthington didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent Monday afternoon to his e-mail address.
