COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Rutgers guard Jacob Young is suspended for Tuesday’s game at No. 9 Maryland following a driving while intoxicated arrest early Sunday morning.

Young was stopped at 1:57 a.m. in New Brunswick by university police and charged with reckless driving, disregarding a stop sign, failing to signal, operating a car under the influence of liquor or drugs and careless driving, according to municipal court records. The RUPD incident log states Young was stopped at the intersection of Central Ave. and Duke St. and arrested for DWI.

Young’s arrest was first reported by NJ.com’s Rutgers Sports Insider. The redshirt junior and Houston native has played well in recent weeks for Rutgers after a slow start to the season and is one of the Scarlet Knights’ most athletic players. Young, who sat out last season after transferring from Texas, is averaging 8.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season.

The suspension, which was announced by a school spokesman on Twitter prior to NJ Advance Media’s report and attributed to a violation of team rules, was characterized as a one-game punishment. But the exact length is unclear. The university’s drug and alcohol policy for student-athletes does not outline any disciplinary guidelines for DWI arrests.

An athletics department spokesman declined comment on Young’s arrest. He did not travel with the team. Head coach Steve Pikiell will meet with reporters after the game with the Terrapins. He was asked about Young’s suspension, but not his arrest, by play-by-player Jerry Recco on the team’s radio pregame show and called it an “obstacle."

“I talk about obstacles all the time, this is another obstacle. We’ll figure it out," Pikiell said. "I say to our guys all the time — we compete, we figure it out, no matter what the obstacles are. They come in many ways, shapes and forms when you’re coaching young adults. So we’re always ready for the obstacles. We’ll figure it out tonight. Other guys got to be ready to step up just like when any other obstacle occurs.”
