UI roundup: Trudeau arrested for drunk driving

ZIONSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Former Indianapolis Colts and University of Illinois quarterback Jack Trudeau has been arrested on preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated, public intoxication and intimidating a police officer.

Zionsville police say the arrest occurred Sunday night.

A probable cause affidavit says the 52-year-old Trudeau threatened a police officer during the arrest. It says a portable breath test showed Trudeau had a blood-alcohol content of 0.31 percent, nearly four times the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

A phone call for comment to Trudeau’s Zionsville home rang unanswered.

The Colts picked Trudeau in the second round of the 1986 draft out of Illinois.
