Overview

• Tahaad Pettiford, the lone returnee from Auburn’s Final Four squad, was arrested early Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
• The 19-year-old guard was booked at midnight and released later that morning on a $1,000 bond.
• Pearl confirmed the program will address the incident internally with Pettiford and his family.
• Alabama law sets a 0.02% blood-alcohol threshold for drivers under 21, meaning any higher reading constitutes a DUI offense.
• After withdrawing from the NBA draft on May 28, Pettiford is expected to lead Auburn’s 2025-26 season as an SEC player-of-the-year contender.
