KU defensive lineman has DUI charge dropped, will not be punished by football team

A DUI charge against Kansas football defensive lineman Isi Holani has been dismissed, Lawrence supervising city prosecutor Elizabeth Hafoka confirmed to The Star on Wednesday afternoon.

Holani originally was arrested on July 22 following a stop sign violation, Hafoka said. The officer arrested Holani at the scene, believing there was probable cause, according to Hafoka.

When a breath test was administered at the jail, she said, Holani’s blood-alcohol concentration was below .08, which is the per se legal limit in Kansas.

“After reviewing the evidence, we determined there was not sufficient evidence that he was under the influence of alcohol to the degree that rendered him incapable of safely driving a vehicle,” Hafoka said.
