Nebraska football player cited for drunk driving

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska football wide receiver has been cited for driving drunk.

Officials with the Lincoln Police Department say 22-year-old Brandon Reilly was pulled over early Friday morning for speeding on Interstate 80 and making a turn without signaling.

Police say that during the traffic stop an officer noticed a strong smell of alcohol. Reilly took a field sobriety test and then was taken to a health center for further testing. His blood alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit.

He was cited for first-offense drunk driving, negligent driving and failing to signal. He has been released.

A phone listing for Reilly could not be located. Court records don't list the name of an attorney.

Reilly had two passengers in the car who were picked up by a sober friend.
