Illinois News: Jack Trudeau facing DUI charges after Sunday night arrest

Jack Trudeau is in some trouble right now. On Sunday night, the former Fighting Illini quarterback was arrested on preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated, public intoxication, and intimidation of a police officer. According to Boone County Jail records, he registered a 0.31 blood-alcohol content--that's nearly 4x the legal limit of 0.08.

Trudeau was the starting QB of Illinois' 1984 Rose Bowl team and he earned All-Big Ten honors that season and again in 1985. He went on to be drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the second round of the 1986 NFL Draft and played professionally until 1995.
