WKU sophomore forward Marek Nelson was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs, no registration receipt and failure to illuminate head lamps according to the Warren County Regional Jail database.
The arrest came less than a day after the Hilltoppers’ victory over Saint Mary’s, a game in which Nelson scored five points.
"We are aware of the situation and handling it internally at this time,” WKU associate director of athletic communications Zach Greenwell said in a statement.
Nelson’s arrest is one of several run-ins with the law for the Hilltopper basketball team this season.
