Ollie Gordon, Oklahoma State running back, arrested for DUI and having open containers of alcohol in his vehicle on June 30, 2023.
Ollie Gordon, a star running back for Oklahoma State University, was arrested on June 30, 2023, for driving under the influence (DUI) and having open containers of alcohol in his vehicle. According to multiple sources including KOCO Five Sports and ESPN's Pete Thamel, Gordon was pulled over for speeding and failing to maintain a single lane of traffic. During the traffic stop, officers found open bottles of lemonade vodka and tequila in the vehicle. Gordon refused to take a field sobriety test and was arrested on complaints of DUI under 21 years of age, transporting an open container of alcohol, failing to maintain a single lane of traffic, and speeding 16-20 mph over the speed limit. He blew a 0.11 during a breath test which is over the legal limit for an adult 21 and older to operate a vehicle. Despite this incident, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy announced at Big 12 Media Days that Gordon would not miss any playing time due to the incident.
Gundy stated, 'I truly am sorry': Ollie Gordon speaks at Big 12 Media Days following DUI charge (KOCO Five Sports). He even joked that he might give the star running back the ball 50 times in the first game as punishment. However, other sources such as ESPN and The New York Times report that Gordon will face internal punishment instead of missing any game time.
This incident comes at a crucial time for Oklahoma State as they prepare for the upcoming college football season and potential appearances in the Big 12 Conference and College Football Playoff. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact Gordon's performance on the field and the team's morale.

Deception
(30%)
The author makes a statement that 'it was really two or three beers, or four' for Gordon to register a .11 on a sobriety test. This is an example of selective reporting as the author only reports details that support his position and ignores the fact that open bottles of vodka and tequila were found in Gordon's car during the traffic stop. The author also makes editorializing statements such as 'I probably did that 1,000 times and was just fine. So I got lucky.' which is an example of emotional manipulation.

We have 68 employees in our building and 139 other players. My job now in the business world that we’re in is to make decisions for everybody.
I've probably done that a thousand time in my life … I got lucky, people get lucky.
