A football player at the University of Texas was arrested last week for driving while intoxicated, and apparently he wanted the party to keep on going.
Offensive lineman Nick Brooks, who will start his college career in the fall, was stopped when he was caught doing 47 mph in a 30-mph zone, Travis County police said in their report.
The report then states that Brooks' eyes were "bloodshot" and "watery," and he had admitted to smoking a "blunt" and a "good" THC pen, to the point where he was "feeling it."

Brooks then told police he had recently left "Play," a 21-and-over establishment that he claimed "makes exceptions for UT Football Players." Brooks is just 18.
The offensive lineman then told police, according to the documents, that he was taking "two prospective players" to a nearby strip club.
Police described Brooks' speech as "mumbled" and "mushmouthed," and he was "swaying" and had "body tremors." But they said his attitude was "polite" and "cooperative." He did not have alcohol in his system.
