I don't think a non-athlete who's a student would get into any trouble with the school for an OWI, so this would actually be a situation where any punishment for Nader would be a harsher punishment.
Nader arrested for OWI?

I will project a five game suspension after he was suspended indefinitely today. We need him for the Iowa game. Too bad we did not have five games in Italy this year.
In the next couple days Hoiberg will say: "We're handling it internally" and that will be the end of it. Hope to see Nader playing in the first exhibition game next season.
What I asked about was this weekend's offense, not the one at NIU. Maybe it was just a simple misunderstanding, as he was answering questions I wasn't asking. You don't have to be a **** about it.

Why does no one take advantage of the free bus service that runs until 2 am? That's what I always did. I only wish I had that now in Kansas City...haha
Well I think it's safe to say he wasn't 'high' on alcohol from that picture. Something is really entertaining him at that point.
As someone who has practiced criminal defense, I wish that were true, but it isn't. It is a common misconception of the public. A driver could blow a .05 in the pre-breathalzyer test (PBT), administered on the side of the road, and a .04 in the Datamaster at the station, and the County Attorney could still prosecute for OWI. Certainly, producing such a low blood alcohol content reading seems to have a positive effect on a jury's perception of the defendant (if admitted into evidence), but the State may still attempt to prove OWI with the Officer's (or other witnesses') testimony. Nader could have blown under .08 (or refused to take both tests altogether) and still be prosecuted and convicted of OWI.
The investigating officer's report will likely state the common things officer's usually state to attempt to show probable cause: bloodshot, watery eyes, breath smelled of alcohol, slurred speech, etc. It will be interesting to see the alleged facts.

There is no attorney-client relationship formed with anyone in this thread or on the basis of my post. I don't know why the other lawyers on this board are so free-wheeling in providing advice (I have seen it a few times), and I want to be clear this isn't such a case. Just thought I would clear up the misconception regarding OWIs. It doesn't pay to drink and drive.
Playing Devils advocate. Nader could have just smoked a j, got hungry and ordered Chinese Home Style for a night cap. He picked up Orange chicken and fried rice. Abdel could not wait until he got home to eat it, so he reached over for the box while the light turned yellow therefor running a red. His was honest with the officer, telling piggy he had smoked mary jane for the third time ever. And the officer arrested Abdel for an OWI. The officer and Nader shared the meal before being booked.
I'll ask why people live so far from campus? I lived on Hyland for the sole purpose of never having to drink and drive.
I heard from a friend today that knows a cop that knows the situation. Apparently, the narrative that the police are resting on is that the alcohol was out saturday night with friends, and got left all alone. Nader, being a good citizen, was just concerned about the booze's safety, and was trying to get it home. Like a gentleman.
Good information .... But had to chuckle about the lawyeresque disclaimer ... As if someone might sue you!
It reminds me about a vintage Saturday Night Live lawyer character (1980s) ... Who was exceptionally nervous and always used denial arguments to "cover down" what he had just stated.
Good advice though .,, nevertheless.
