Well, Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino was quick with his punishment for linebacker Khiry Battle, who was arrested Sunday for the second time in less than two months.

  Here is the release from the school:

  FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Sophomore linebacker Khiry Battle has been dismissed from the Razorback football team it was announced by Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino.

  ”Khiry has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules,” Petrino said. “Being a member of the Razorback football program requires responsible actions on and off the field.”

   I just received a preliminary report from the Fayetteville Police Department on the arrest of Arkansas linebacker Khiry Battle.

  The sophomore was booked into the Washington County Jail early Sunday morning on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and violation of the city’s noise ordinance. He was also charged with violation of Arkansas’ implied consent law after refusing to take a breathalyzer test.

  According to the report, an officer pulled over Battle shortly after midnight Saturday when he heard loud music coming from the linebacker’s car as he drove eastbound on Dickson Street.

  “I approached the driver and immediately smelled an odor of intoxicants,” the report said. “I asked (Battle) if he had been drinking and he said he had not.”

  The officer reported that Battle failed a field sobriety test, and after being transported to the Washington County Jail, he refused to take a breathalyzer test.

  Still no word from Arkansas officials about Battle’s latest run-in with the law.

  Arkansas linebacker Khiry Battle has gotten arrested for the second time in seven weeks.

  The sophomore was arrested Saturday on charges of driving under the influence and noise ordinance. He was booked into the Washington County Jail early Sunday morning and released at 5:07 a.m. after posting an $830 bond.

  It will be interesting to see if Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino suspends or kicks Battles off the team following his latest run-in with police. 

  Battle was arrested May 7 for failure to appear after a university police officer responded to an argument involving the sophomore.

  A university officer responded to a parking lot on West Maple Street and Garland Avenue after Battle and another student got into an argument, according to Gary Crain, public information officer for the University of Arkansas Police Department.

  Crain said the officer ran a check on Battle and the other student, and it came back that a warrant had been issued for the linebacker’s arrest.

  According to Crain, Battle had a careless driving ticket that he had not resolved. He was arrested at 10:06 p.m. Wednesday and is scheduled to appear in Fayetteville District Court on June 15.

  We will have more on Battle’s situation later on, so check back with us.

 I just spoke with Gary Crain, public information officer for the University of Arkansas Police Department, about what led to the arrest of linebacker Khiry Battle.

  According to a police report, a UAPD officer responded to an argument in a campus parking lot on Maple Street and Garland Avenue. When the officer ran a check on Battle, who was arguing with another student, it came back that the sophomore had a warrant for his arrest.

  Turns out, Battle had a careless driving ticket that he had never taken care of. That led to his arrest at 10:06 p.m. Wednesday on a failure to appear charge. He was released early Thursday morning after posting a $630 bond.

  Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino isn’t expected to issue a comment on Battle’s arrest.
