In a DWI arrest, utility worker Nick Brooks admitted plans to escort potential recruits to a strip club.
Fresh Take:
Austin's streets saw a wild ride last weekend when Texas Longhorns offensive lineman, Nick Brooks, found himself in hot water after an intoxicating late-night escapade.
According to a Travis County Sheriff's office report, verified by our team, the intoxicated 18-year-old was caught speeding on West 6th Street, clocking in at a whopping 47 mph in a 30 mph zone. The arresting officer, noticing Brooks' bloodshot and watery eyes, suspected marijuana impairment.
The affidavit says that Brooks confessed to consuming a marijuana vape pen and a "blunt" before hitting the road. He subsequently boasted about the quality of his chosen strain and feeling its effects—not exactly the smartest move during a traffic stop, especially when you're an underage athlete.
Things got even bumpier when the officer observed Brooks exhibiting signs of physical tremors. No alcohol was detected in his system, the report claims.
As if that wasn't enough, our sources reveal that Brooks had just departed from a local 21-and-up establishment, known for its lenient policy towards underage Longhorns athletes. The night took an unexpected twist when he volunteered information about his plans to take prospective players to a strip club—not ideal chit-chat during a DWI bust.
The Unfortunate Learning Curve for Nick Brooks
Although it's no secret that underage college athletes often manage to secure entry into nearby bars, Brooks' case proved to be an instructive one for both him and his team.
In an unexpected move, Brooks continued to spill the beans to the officers, revealing his plans to take the prospective players to a strip club. This seemingly ticked off head coach Steve Sarkisian, who issued a statement: "We're aware of the situation with Nick Brooks, have talked with him, and are gathering information. We will continue to monitor the legal process and address this situation within the team at the appropriate time."
Besides learning the hard way that driving under the influence of drugs is a big no-no, the entire Texas football team might as well add a lesson in keeping mum during tricky situations to their curriculum.
