Notre Dame WR Floyd arrested on DUI charge

South Bend, IN (Sports Network) - Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd was arrested early Sunday morning on a drunk driving charge following a traffic stop.

He has been charged with one count of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, a class A misdemeanor. The arrest could jeopardize Floyd's final season with Notre Dame. He announced in January he would return for his senior year, rather than jump to the NFL.

According to court documents, Notre Dame police stopped a car that ran a stop sign at Notre Dame Avenue and Holy Cross Drive. The filing alleges that Floyd failed three field sobriety tests and agreed to take a certified breath test, registering a blood-alcohol content of 0.19 -- more than twice Indiana's legal limit of 0.08.

A release from the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office said that Floyd, 21, was then arrested around 3:18 a.m. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 2.
