Virginia Tech linebacker Caleb Woodson was arrested and charged with a first class misdemeanor for driving while intoxicated on Saturday night, per Montgomery/Christianburg General District Court records.
This is Woodson’s first offense for DWI and he will have his first hearing for the case on Sept. 9. Virginia Tech released a statement to ESPN acknowledging Woodson’s arrest, noting they will not have further comment until the legal process plays out.
“We are aware of an incident involving Caleb Woodson,” Virginia Tech said in a statement. “We take this matter seriously and will handle it according to athletic department policy and university policy. As this is a legal matter, we will have no further comment until the process is complete.”
