BYU Football Player Arrested for DUI
BYU linebacker Francis Bernard was arrested early Saturday morning on DUI charges according to jail records.
Suspended BYU linebacker Francis Bernard was arrested and booked into the Utah County Jail early Saturday morning on DUI charges. Bernard was arrested by the Utah County Sheriff’s Office and booked on three total charges, including the DUI charge. It was a charge of driving under the influence and reckless driving and clarifies that the charged was allegedly “driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both or with specified or unsafe blood alcohol concentration” according to the Utah Penal Code. He was also charged with driving without a valid license and failure to have proper registration. Here’s a picture of Bernard’s booking on the Utah County Jail website.
Jail records show that Bernard was booked at 2:30 a.m. MDT on Saturday, October 21 and released at 4 a.m. the same day. What this means with regards to his status at BYU as Bernard was redshirting this season due to previous disciplinary issues has not been announced. Attempts to contact BYU officials for a statement were not immediately returned.

He should look into enrolling at Utah. I hear they have a pretty lax policy on DUIs...
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

BYU Football Player Arrested for DUI
I would rather attend a school that gives second chances. Heaven knows we all make mistakes. The school down south tends to get out their gavels and play judge.

Bernard had already been given a second chance. If he's still around it will be a third chance. Sometimes it's better to cut bait and give the opportunity to someone that will appreciate what they have been given.
As for BYU and their gavel, the rules are clearly spelled out before the kid signs on the dotted line. If you can't maintain your part of the deal perhaps you should seek a different deal right from the start.

Again, people make mistakes. Especially kids. Sometimes it takes 2, 3 or 4 times to correct.

Agreed. Just depends on the kid and the situation. Sometimes football or another activity can help keep them out of trouble or help with recovery.

BYU Football Player Arrested for DUI
If you remember Marty Johnson (now a correctional officer in Sacramento), was a pretty good running back. He got a DUI and came back. It was a similar controversy. Whit and the U has a rep for working with people.

Thanks to Utah coach Urban Meyer, RB Marty Johnson went from a jail cell to starting in the Fiesta Bowl.

Woah! That’s a news to me. My brother is a big fan but he surely doesn’t know about this. In fact, he was once pressed against the DUI charges but luckily, made it out with help of a good Los Angeles DUI attorney. Anyways, I will still share this post with him.
