Huggins, 69, of Morgantown, West Virginia, was pulled over by police in Pittsburgh on Friday night.
He was charged with driving under the influence, was released from custody and will appear at a later date for a preliminary hearing, according to a police report.
West Virginia’s athletic department said in a statement it was aware of Friday’s incident. “We are gathering more information and will take appropriate action once the review is complete,” the statement said. In June 2004, Huggins pleaded no contest to driving under the influence in a suburb of Cincinnati and was ordered to attend a three-day intervention program. The University of Cincinnati suspended him indefinitely with pay and told Huggins to rehabilitate himself.
After spending one season at Kansas State, Huggins took his dream job at West Virginia, his alma mater, in 2007. Huggins’ salary of $4.15 million will be reduced by $1 million. That reduction will be used to directly support WVU’s LGBTQ+ Center, as well as a mental health center at the university and other groups that support marginalized communities. He is suspended for the first three games of the 2023-24 season. In addition, his contract will be amended from a multiyear agreement to a year-by-year agreement that began on May 10 of this year and ends on April 30, 2024.
