Sophomore guard Korie Lucious, who had 12 points Saturday, takes a jump shot during the first half. Butler defeated MSU 52-50 and will advance to the national championship game Monday.
Junior guard Korie Lucious was arrested early Monday morning for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, according to records from East Lansing’s 54-B District Court.
Lucious was arrested at 2:20 a.m. at the corner of Charles and Linden streets in East Lansing. He had a blood alcohol content of 0.09, which is higher than the legal limit of 0.08. He was later released on a $200 bond.
Lucious will not be 21 until Nov. 5.
“We’re aware a ticket was issued and we’re still gathering information,” men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo said in a statement.
The Milwaukee native averaged 5.6 points and 3.2 assists in 36 games last season. When then-junior guard Kalin Lucas went down with a ruptured Achilles in the NCAA Tournament, then-sophomore Lucious filled in a point guard and led the team to the Final Four.
