Maryland assistant coach Dalonte Hill was arrested and charged with suspicion of DUI. At a press conference at the University, head basketball coach Mark Turgeon announced that Hill was arrested on Thursday and would not make the team’s road trip to Temple. A statement issued Friday afternoon by the University athletic department said that Hill will not be on the bench for the team’s next two games. Hill was previously arrested for DUI in 2008 while he was an assistant at Kansas State. Hill was suspended for that incident as well.

According to the police report, Hill was stopped at the intersection of southbound Route 295 and Route 32 around 1:55 a.,m. In the report, officers said that Hill was spotted "driving erratically" and "failing to drive in a single lane" while making "abrupt and unsafe" stops and starts. After he was pulled over, officers noted that Hill’s "appearance and behavior" seemed to be consistent with a person driving under the influence.

Police said that Hill’s eyes were "red and watery" and that his speech was "slurred." While he couldn’t tell police where he was coming from, he did say that he had consumed "three beers at the club." It should be noted that the day he was pulled over marked Hill’s 33rd birthday.
