Good morning, Stark Vegas! It’s been a while since these articles came out bright and early, but it’s back. These past few days have been interesting for Bulldog sports. Let’s get right into it.

Jace Christmann arrested on DUI charges

The 21-year-old kicker was pulled over for failing to dim his headlights. Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Jon Davis wouldn’t give details on Christmann’s blood alcohol content test, but says it was very little above the state legal limit of 0.08.

The school said in a statement that it’s still getting information regarding the situation.
