Missouri Forward Jordan Barnett Arrested For DWI

The arrest comes two days after Missouri's 62-60 loss to Georgia in the second round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament on Thursday.

Missouri basketball player Jordan Barnett has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Spokesperson Brian Weimer of the Missouri University Police Department says Barnett was arrested at 3:26 a.m. Saturday. The report indicated Barnett failed to drive within a single lane.

The arrest comes two days after Missouri's 62-60 loss to Georgia in the second round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament on Thursday.

Missouri (20-12) is expected to be selected for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. However, Barnett's arrest may put his status in jeopardy. The school student-athlete handbook says the punishment for driving under the influence is a minimum of one-week suspension for a first offense.

Barnett has averaged 13.7 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Tigers in his senior season. He's been Missouri's second-leading scorer and rebounder.
