Arkansas defensive lineman Tevin Beanum was arrested over the weekend for suspicion of driving while under the influence. He is likely going to lose his license, but he will have to appear before a judge first. Thanks to Bret Bielema, Beanum has already lost his car.
In order to return to the Razorbacks in the wake of his arrest, Beanum will have to fulfill certain university requirements. He will also have to follow Bielema’s rules.
“For instance, I’ve taken away his car,” Bielema said, per Eric W. Bolin of the Arkansas News Bureau. “It sounds simple. I think a lot of today’s problems can be solved by an old school way of thinking. So I picked up the phone and called his mom. We talked about different things. He has to go through the court system and obviously he’ll have ramifications. But I’ve basically banned the use of his car for any time other than when he’s coming over here or going to academics. His car is to remain parked.
“If he gets pulled over for running through a stoplight at 10:30 at night then he’s violated my rules and there’s going to be an even bigger consequence.”
Bielema may have had some sarcastic things to say recently about the rules Texas coach Charlie Strong has for his players, but that doesn’t mean the Arkansas coach holds his team to a lower standard.
Beanum might as well get used to not driving for a while.
