Virginia Tech Hokies tight end Bucky Hodges was arrested and charged with public swearing/intoxication early Sunday morning according to a report from The Roanoke Times Andy Bitter.

The 19-year-old Hodges was booked and released on bond from Montgomery County Jail early this morning. It's a misdemeanor charge. Blacksburg police Lt. Nathan O'Dell said Hodges was arrested around 12:30 Sunday morning in one of the parking lots at The Edge Apartments in Blacksburg.

I'm not going to condemn Hodges' arrest because I was once an underage kid who was intoxicated in public plenty of times in college. I still to this day tailgate and consume alcoholic beverages in public. I also have a zeal for cursing, in private and public regardless of my blood alcohol level.

However, this is not an optimal start for Virginia Tech's offseason. The Hokies are counting on Hodges, a USA Today freshman All-American, on offense next season. Bucky caught 45 balls for 526 yards and 7 touchdowns last season, and is expected to be an even bigger contributor this year.

It's unknown what type of punishment, if any, awaits Hodges.
