Gophers QB Lindsey Arrested for Fake ID, Underage Alcohol

Minnesota Golden Gophers quarterback Drake Lindsey was arrested early Friday morning in his hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas, on misdemeanor charges of underage possession of alcohol and possession of a fraudulent identification.

Fayetteville police responded to a call from staff at a bar near the University of Arkansas campus shortly after midnight, according to a preliminary police report. The 20-year-old Lindsey admitted to officers that he possessed a fake ID, which he had used, and that he consumed alcohol before arriving at the establishment. A copy of the fraudulent document was found in his wallet during the encounter. Lindsey cooperated with authorities, signing a form acknowledging the use of the altered identification.

He was booked into the Washington County Detention Center around 1:11 a.m. and released approximately seven hours later after posting a $470 bond. Court hearings are scheduled for June 1 and June 29 in Fayetteville District Court.

A University of Minnesota spokesperson said the athletic department is aware of the incident and will address it internally. The arrest occurred during a team break following the conclusion of spring practices last weekend.
