Iowa defensive back Omar Truitt was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated early Sunday morning, according to Stephen Gruber-Miller of the Iowa City Press-Citizen.

Truitt, 19, was pulled over for a traffic stop Sunday morning around 12:40 a.m. CT. After the officer smelled alcohol, Truitt took a breathalyzer test that revealed a .091 blood alcohol level over the legal limit of .08.

"UI athletics department officials are in the process of gathering facts in regards to the incident," the Hawkeyes said in a press release Monday. "Truitt is subject to established university protocol in regards to the UI student life code of conduct and team rules and regulations set for members of the football program."

Truitt - a redshirt freshman in 2015 - has yet to dent the stat sheet in his career.
