CONFIRMED: Bob Huggins Arrested for DUI

Following rumors that Bob Huggins has been arrested, the City of Pittsburgh posted a blurb stating that it was in fact true. 

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — It has now been confirmed that Bob Huggins was arrested last night in Pittsburgh for driving under the influence. The City of Pittsburgh posted the following message on its Public Safety website:

“Just before 8:30 p.m, Pittsburgh Police from Zone 1 observed a black SUV on Merchant Street off of Ridge Avenue in the middle of the road, blocking traffic. The driver’s side door was open and the vehicle had a flat and shredded tire.

Officers directed the male driver on how best to move off the road so they could help with the flat tire. When they observed him having difficulty maneuvering the SUV to allow vehicles to pass, they activated their lights to pull him over. Upon questioning, officers had strong suspicion to believe the male was intoxicated.

They asked him to exit the vehicle to perform standard field sobriety tests, which he failed. The male was placed in custody without incident and transported for further testing.

Robert Huggins, 69 , of Morgantown, West Virginia was charged with Driving Under the Influence. He was released from custody and will appear for a preliminary hearing at a later date.”
