Idaho men’s basketball player Kyle Barone was arraigned for a DUI charge Tuesday by the Whitman County District Court, a day after coach Don Verlin indefinitely suspended him from the team for unspecified team violations.
Barone, a 2011 all-WAC honorable mention awardee, was pulled over at 1:33 a.m. Sunday morning in Pullman after a police officer reported witnessing him cross two traffic lanes before pulling into a diagonal parking stall.
The citation occurred on Wilson Road near the Lighty Student Services Building on the Washington State University campus.
Driving a dark colored Dodge Durango, Barone hit the curb of the sidewalk, causing the car to bounce off the curb.
The Garden Grove, Calif., native is Idaho’s active leader in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals.
Idaho opens up its 2012-2013 campaign at Memorial Gym Saturday, Oct. 27 against Seattle Pacific.
Verlin stated in a press release Monday that Barone’s response will determine his status on the team.
