Ohio State safety Marcus Hooker has been suspended from the football team according to news that was first broken by local Columbus news CBS affiliate WBNS 10TV.
According to court records, Hooker was cited for Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI) at Delasmut Avenue and West 5th Avenue near Grandview at 1:40 a.m. He is set to be arraigned at Franklin County Municipal Court on Friday. Records also show that Hooker refused a blood-alcohol test at the scene.
A team spokesman said there is no timetable for the suspension. However, Ohio State is likely to come down harder on Hooker since this is the second time he’s run into a similar infraction. He was suspended in 2018 for the season opener because of a DUI.
We’ll have more on this news as it becomes available.
