Husker coach suspended after drunk driving arrest

Nebraska women's tennis head coach Scott Jacobson has been suspended without pay after Lincoln police arrested him on suspicion of drunk driving following a traffic stop last week.

Jacobson will not be involved in any team activities, practices or competitions during the suspension, which began Wednesday and runs through March 27, Nebraska Athletics Director Bill Moos said in a statement.

Jacobson, 59, was taken to The Bridge for detox March 7 following a traffic stop in west Lincoln, officer Luke Bonkiewicz said.

Just after 9:45 that night, a Lincoln police officer stopped Jacobson's 2008 Honda Accord after the officer saw it briefly driving on the dirt shoulder along West South Street between South Folsom and Southwest 16th streets, Bonkiewicz said.
