Tyler Boyd Arrested: Latest Details, Comments and More on Pittsburgh Star
Pittsburgh Panthers junior wide receiver Tyler Boyd was taken into custody on June 12 after being stopped under suspicion of DUI, according to Rich Walsh of KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.
Walsh's full report on the CBS Pittsburgh website provided additional details from the paperwork filed by the police:
"According to police paperwork, the officer who pulled him over “smelled the moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage about Boyd,” who said he “had ‘two shots’ but did not start drinking until after the NBA Finals game he was watching.”
The 20-year-old was placed under arrest after being administered a breathalyzer that tested positive for alcohol, police paperwork said. He was then taken to Jefferson Hospital for a blood test.
"
Boyd was officially charged with DUI, underage drinking, careless driving, driving on the left side of the roadway and driving with alcohol in his system as a minor, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com).
Sam Werner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette provided a statement from Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi:
Walsh also added that Boyd was "released to the custody of a family member" after his blood test.
Boyd has been one of the best wide receivers in college football since playing his first game at Pitt in 2013. He has racked up 2,435 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns on 163 receptions and was named to the All-ACC First Team in 2014.
Pitt made it to bowl games both seasons Boyd has been with the program. In the first, the 2013 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Boyd showed how valuable he could be with a career-high 173 receiving yards and a punt return for a touchdown in Pittsburgh's 30-27 win over Bowling Green.
