Wisconsin Badgers' starting linebacker Jonathan Casillas will appear in Dane County court Friday to face charges of drunken driving.
According to court records, Casillas was cited for a first-time drunken driving offense on Aug. 24 while driving a moped on the UW-Madison campus. Casillas was also cited for operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level over .10 and for driving with an illegal passenger.
UW-Madison football head coach Bret Bielema told the Wisconsin State Journal Tuesday that the incident has been discussed internally and the linebacker will not be disciplined further.
We handled that the same way as any alcohol or drug [violation],"" Bielema said, adding the case does not fall under the UW-Madison student-athlete discipline policy. ""The biggest thing I was concerned about was his overall safety.
