Police charged former Penn State tight end Andrew Quarless, 19, with driving under the influence of alcohol, a liquor law violation and a traffic violation today.
At 3 a.m. Sunday, a State College police officer stopped Quarless on College Avenue just east of Allen Street after he drove through a red light, according to court documents.
About 30 minutes later, Quarless registered a blood-alcohol content of .084, documents show.
Quarless, a sophomore, was suspended from the football team Tuesday for an undisclosed reason.
He was also cited for underage drinking two weeks before the 2007 season began. Coaches kept him off the field for the team's first two games.
With his suspension, Quarless becomes the seventh player to be indefinitely suspended from the team since August. Running back Austin Scott, defensive lineman Phil Taylor, wideout Chris Bell, defensive lineman Chris Baker, linebacker Navorro Bowman and cornerback Knowledge Timmons are all currently suspended or "excused" from the team.
