19-year old WSU freshman wide receiver Rodrick Fisher was arrested early Friday morning at 12:25 a.m. for a “Baby” DUI charge with blood alcohol levels measured twice at .o76 and .078. A “Baby” DUI is when a driver under 21 tests positive for alcohol.

Fisher was arrested on the corner of NE B Street & NE California Street near the St. Thomas More Catholic Student Center after he was pulled over for driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Fisher received a criminal citation and is scheduled to appear at the Whitman County Courthouse today at 4 p.m.

Assistant Director of Athletic Communications Bobby Alworth said Head Coach Mike Leach is aware of the incident but he could not comment further, citing it as an internal matter.
