Western Kentucky defensive tackle Jaylon George was booked into the Warren County Regional Jail at 3:43 a.m. Saturday.

George was charged with careless driving and operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He was released at 9:46 a.m. Saturday.

George’s arrest came hours after the Hilltoppers defeated Middle Tennessee 41-38 in three overtimes Friday at Houchens-Smith Stadium. He played in the game as a reserve but didn’t record any stats.

"We are aware of the situation involving Jaylon and are currently in the process of gathering more information," team spokesman Kyle Neaves said in a statement to the Daily News.
