Iowa Football Player Arrested After Drunkenly Mistaking Police Car For Uber

Iowa defensive tackle Brady Reiff was arrested in Iowa City early Saturday morning on misdemeanor public intoxication charges. Reiff, 22, was arrested at 2:44 a.m. after allegedly mistaking a police car for an Uber.

University of Iowa police said that Reiff approached a parked UI police car and attempted to open the vehicle's passenger door. After noticing a rider sitting shotgun, Reiff moved to the back door. He asked the officers for a ride home, thinking the vehicle was an Uber, according to the Gazette.

Reiff's breathalyzer test revealed a .204 blood alcohol content level at the time of his arrest.
