Auburn star point guard Tahaad Pettiford was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence (alcohol) early Saturday morning, an incident that elicited statements from head coach Bruce Pearl and Pettiford himself.

According to reporter Justin Hokanson, Auburn athletic director John Cohen had a conversation with Pettiford on Monday morning, and it appears to be a positive one. "He's a wonderful kid," Cohen said (via Hokanson's X handle). "We'll wait and see how it plays out. Tahaad Pettiford is a great young man who comes from a great family."
