Arkansas DE Tevin Beanum arrested for DWI
Arkansas defensive end Tevin Beanum was arrested and charged with DWI after being pulled over early Sunday morning in Fayetteville.
According to KNWA, Beanum, who recently finished his redshirt freshman season with the Razorbacks, was driving with his bright headlights on around 2:26 a.m. Sunday morning. After failing to dim the headlights, Beanum was pulled over.
The arresting officer “could smell the odor of intoxicants on Beanum’s breath” and also found “an open bottle of brandy” in the backseat of the vehicle.
In addition to DWI, Beanum, who registered a .08 BAC, was booked for illegal possession of alcohol and failure to dim headlights.
According to the Southwest Times Record, Beanum was released later on Sunday morning and was due in court at 8 a.m. Monday.
Beanum, a native of Forrest City, Ark., was a three-star recruit in the Razorbacks’ 2013 class. After redshirting his first season with the program, he played in 12 games last season in a reserve role, registering 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, one forced fumble and four quarterback hurries.
