WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Purdue sophomore defensive end Gelen Robinson has been arrested for operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol content of 0.15 percent or higher and illegal possession of an alcoholic beverage.

The Lafayette Journal & Courier reports (http://on.jconline.com/1Nfzdal ) the 20-year-old Robinson was booked in the Tippecanoe Jail early Saturday and later released.

Robinson, the son of former NBA and Purdue star Glenn Robinson, entered a diversion agreement last August after being cited for minor consumption by Purdue police.

Robinson appeared in 11 games last season, recording 20 tackles, including two sacks.
