Michael Floyd Arrest: Notre Dame Star Receiver Charged With DUI

Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd has been arrested for driving under the influence, according to multiple reports out of South Bend Monday morning.

Floyd, who is returning for his senior season at Notre Dame in 2011, was arrested by Notre Dame Security Police at approximately 4 a.m. Sunday and was released seven hours later after being posted a $500 bond.

This is Floyd's second recorded violation of the law.

In January 2010, Floyd was cited for underage drinking in his hometown of Minneapolis. He was cited for underage drinking after allegedly fleeing the scene of a fight in a car driven by a former Minnesota player, running back Shady Salamon.

Salamon was charged with a DUI, obstructing police and underage drinking. According to a police report, Floyd was discovered with blood on his shirt and hands and was linked to the fight at a party.

In 2010, Floyd recorded 1,025 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. His 79 receptions led the Fighting Irish as Notre Dame ended their season with a victory over Miami in the Sun Bowl.

Floyd helped Notre Dame win against the Hurricanes with six catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns. It was his fourth time of the season going over 100 yards and his fourth multi-touchdown outing.

For his efforts, Floyd was named the Sun Bowl Most Valuable Player.

Floyd is scheduled to appear in court on April 2.

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly has not responded to the situation publicly at this time.
