An A-State employee was cited for public intoxication during Spring Break.

According to a police report, Jonesboro police cited Jason Andrews, assistant athletics director for football operations, for public intox at approximately 2:30 a.m. on March 23 after residents on Woodsprings Road reported a possible prowler.

Officer Daniel Gifford was advised by dispatch that several residents had reported someone attempting to gain entry into their homes. Upon arriving at the location, Gifford spotted a man, later identified as Andrews, walking from yard to yard and knocking on doors in the area.

Andrews was detained without incident. Gifford noted the strong odor of intoxicants on Andrews, and stated in his report the suspect was “slurring his speech and … very unsteady on his feet.”

After notifying the police he was trying to find his friend’s house, but did not know where it was, Andrews was placed under arrest for public intoxication.

Officers transported Andrews to the Craighead County Detention Center where he was cited, given a $205 surety bond and placed under a 6-8 hour hold.

A-State officials released a statement following Andrews’ arrest.

“The Arkansas State Athletics Department is aware of the incident that occurred this morning with Assistant Athletics Director for Football Operations Jason Andrews, and it is currently in the process of gathering all information and details. The Athletics Department expects all employees to display a high standard of conduct and represent the University in an appropriate manner at all times.” Andrews, 33, was hired in January 2014 from University of North Carolina Athletic Department, where he served as the Assistant Director of New Media for the Tar Heels.
