From the Lincoln Journal Star:

Patrick J. Witt, 18, was arrested and lodged in jail on suspicion of disturbing the peace, trespassing, third-degree assault by menacing threats, minor in possession by consuming and possession of a false ID.

Coach Pelini’s reaction:

“I have talked with Patrick about the incident over the weekend and we are looking into the facts,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. “This matter will be dealt with internally.”

Hopefully this is an isolated incident. It will be interesting to see how Bo handles this situation. My guess is Witt will get a second chance as long as he’s willing to admit his mistake and a learn from it.

[update] OK Husker fans. You rallied to beat back the evil hoard of Buffalo, but what are your thoughts about Witt? Does Pelini draw a line in the sand or is it part of learning and growing up? I truely believe this is a defining moment in Bo’s tenure. If it goes south, does he loose support? Should he ignore it or address it head on? Does he keep it internal or share with Husker Nation? If Witt becomes a star is Bo a hero or someone who is only interested in winning? You tell me — a Supporter of Pelini’s on the fence.
