Kyle Calloway Arrested for OWI...On a Moped
A screencap of the police arrest video
When I was in middle school, we took a field trip to the county courthouse for a civics class. My class watched a civil lawsuit where two extremely large women were suing another driver for allegedly making them crash their moped. The lawyer for the other driver quickly pointed out that the two women were more than 100 pounds over the 250 lb. listed weight limit for the moped. The women got nothing.
Well, fat people on mopeds are about to get another day in court. From the Chicago Tribune:
Police say Iowa offensive lineman Kyle Calloway was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Calloway was arrested after officers stopped him while driving a moped into a barricaded area.
Police say Calloway was given a field sobriety and a breathalyzer test, which registered 0.106. The legal limit in Iowa is 0.08.
Iowa City Police Sgt. Mike Lord says Calloway cooperated with police and acknowledged he drank seven or eight beers.
Generally, OWI is no laughing matter. But when you're a 300 lb. offensive lineman who picks one up (and ends your string of 25 consecutive starts) by knocking back a six-pack, barely cracking .10, and taking your moped off-roading through a construction zone (EDIT: past police cars responding to an accident, which might be even dumber), it's probably an exception to the rule. So we're going to laugh and hope Marcus Zusevics is ready to start against UNI and the Clones.
We can only imagine what Calloway's night was like. He was probably hanging with the diminutive Daniel Murray, just waiting for pizza:

Not a construction site.
Apparently an accident site, which probably had two or three marked police cars with lights flashing, and traffic cones to divert traffic.
He drove between the cones.
Drunk.
On a moped.
Weighing 300 lbs.

It said unmarked police cars, but the point stands.
Also, Morehouse says he’s at 320.
Say something else so I can say how WRONG it is. Wrongy McWrongerson.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks

According to the police report they were marked cars.

That's ten points for the Tommy Boy reference
and a triple word score for the half-assed “it’s Saturday” execution

hes going to get a one game suspension. this is just plain stupid. I love how the cops could care less if your car is broken into or somebody is actually hurting somebody and they do nothing…but when they see somebody wobbling around in a moped…CHARGE! like its the top hit of the night. pathetic.
I actually think he shouldnt get any suspension. the fact that he was stupid enough to do what he did and he will get crap for the rest of life is penalty enough in my book. I live in florida. this is hysterical that the iowa city police even turn their attention to this. in the land of dumbass voters and many murders a day this is lame. hell a gaturd can smoke weed, down a twelve with urban meyer in their presence and hes not missing a game I can guarentee it

I just saw your above comment here. You do realize that he DROVE THROUGH AN ACCIDENT SCENE THAT WAS BLOCKED OFF BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES DOING THEIR JOB, RIGHT? I think the last people you need to blame are the police. Easily one of the most retarded comments I’ve seen on this site since I started reading here.
Again, let’s go through his night. Our man had 7-8 beers, got on a moped and drove through a blocked off accident site with police officers on the scene and visable to anyone in the area while legally drunk. When KF says that Kyle had a lapse of poor judgement, he nailed that statement right on the fucking head. I bet Kyle feels bad about that night and will more than likely learn a few lessons about his mistake.
I love me my Hawks and I want to see us have a full and healthy squad, but the LAST thing I want to see is our football players getting away with such indiscretions as drunk driving. But yeah, fuck the police I guess…

I don't see what the big deal is....
Kyle Calloway was just being an Eco-drunk. He gets 70 miles to the gallon on that hog.

70 MPG?
Pshaw right. Maybe downhill. Uphill those 50 ccs aren’t getting more than 3 mpg carrying that much lineman.

Don't forget
There’s a little bit of drag created when a 320 lbs. mountain is exposed to the wind. I think that’d drop the MPG a little bit.

Not on deaf ears Hawkaloogie
Calloway also drove a third of the way across the country campus in the wrong direction!

Just when I thought Calloway couldn't be any dumber, he goes and does something like this.
AND TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!
No self-respecting man from Iowa goes anywhere without beer

OWI is an OWI
Especially in light of the Stallworth situation. Granted, the only thing he would have been able to kill on that beast is a parking meter and possibly a light pole, but the facts remain the same. (sidenote: How goddamn stupid do you have to be to drive through a blocked-off accident scene with multiple squad cars and flashing lights? I’m more shocked that he blew just above 0.10; something this dumb should have warranted at least a 0.20 or above.)
That said, I sincerely hope that KF and the University look at the situation subjectively and look at this and, as stated above, let the public humiliation be punishment enough.

Are you publicly humilated?
Or do you need more punishment?

stallworth was doing way more than drinking…somehow that was kept out until recently. and first it was weed and nows it was something else…and stallworth wasnt on any moped. plus the fact that he did this several times and got away with….oh guess what it happened in florida too!
dont even compare the two. now its just getting beyond stupid when compare calloway with stallworth

I think Calloway is onto something...
I think drunk driving should be legal, but only while said drunk is intoxicatedly operating a MOPED. Think about it…they can only possibly injure themselves. If someone wants to roll the dice, have a sixer and go out for a cruise we should be encouraging them to make their vehicular weapon of choice a small two-wheeled tween-girl’s ride. Streamers should also be mandatory. The next time I see a line of people leaving the bar at closing time I would be happy to see them all revving up their 2-stroke engines…So I know my family is safe from them. I think Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) should endorse this type of thing. This could almost totally eliminate the deaths to innocent motorists at the hands of drunks behind the wheel! Thank you Mr. Calloway for opening our eyes to this solution! Legislation should be fast-tracked. Does anyone have Obama’s cell number?
