Maryland Football Assistant Coach Kevin Sumlin Arrested on DUI Charge in Florida

Sumlin, also a co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, refused breathalyzer test and faces discipline from Maryland football, while the team prepares for its upcoming game without him.

Maryland Football Assistant Coach Kevin Sumlin was arrested in Florida on a DUI charge early Saturday; he refused a breathalyzer test resulting in an automatic suspension of his driver's license.
Head Coach of the Terrapins, Michael Locksley, confirmed that Sumlin will face disciplinary actions and disclosed that Sumlin is not with the team this week while it prepares for its upcoming game.
Locksley, during a press conference, emphasized the importance of coaches setting an example for their players and mentioned his disappointment at Sumlin's actions.
Despite the incident, Locksley supports Sumlin, reaffirming that he remains a part of the Maryland football family.
The charges against Sumlin, which are being monitored by Maryland Athletics, are ongoing and could lead to a maximum jail sentence of 60 days and/or a fine of no more than $500, as DUI is considered a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida.
Before joining Maryland, Sumlin served as head coach at Arizona, Texas A&M and Houston, where he had a significant impact on the Aggies' successful season in 2012, featuring Johnny Manziel's Heisman Trophy-winning performance.
