College football coach Kevin Sumlin was arrested in the Tampa Bay area this weekend for driving under the influence, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Police records show that Sumlin, who is the Maryland Terrapins' co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, was arrested on Highway 301 at 12:40 a.m. local time on early Saturday morning at an address that is for a local RaceTrac gas station and convenience store.
The report said Sumlin, 59, refused a breathalyzer test and was booked for one charge of driving under the influence. It is a second-degree misdemeanor. He was released later that morning on a cash bond of $500.
The incident happened during the Terrapins' bye week.
Sumlin was the head coach of Texas A&M from 2012 to 2017. He was back in headlines this summer when Netflix released "Untold: Johnny Football," a documentary of Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel's life and college career.
He also had a head-coaching role for Houston from 2008-2011 until he was hired by the Aggies. In his tenure with the Cougars, quarterback Case Keenum had two 5,000-yard seasons, including a record 5,671 passing yards in his junior year.
Maryland hired Sumlin in February after he spent a year at the helm of the USFL's Houston Gamblers and had a stint as head coach of the Arizona Wildcats. The Terrapins are 5-2 this season.
The story of Sumlin's arrest was first reported by The Diamondback, the University of Maryland's student newspaper, which added that the coach pleaded not guilty and waived arraignment.
The school and athletic department have not commented on the arrest.
