Sutton steps aside after DUI citation; witness tells police of drugs with Sutton

OSU basketball Coach Eddie Sutton, cited for driving under the influence after a Friday traffic accident., has stepped aside for the remainder of the basketball season. Sutton was arrested, but was not jailed because there was not physical evidence to back up the citation, Stillwater Police Chief Norman McNickle said Monday.

Sutton also was cited with speeding and driving left of center in the 5:45 p.m. accident in the 3000 block of North Washington Street in Stillwater.

The police report from the accident says that a witness saw the prescription drug hydrocodone in Sutton's car.

The unnamed witness also told police that Sutton didn't know the day or where he was in Stillwater after the accident.

The police report also indicats that Sutton said he couldn't remember the accident when he arrived at the hospital.

A statement released by Oklahoma State University on Monday tied Sutton's decision to injuries in the accident, but did not address his arrest.

Sutton received a head injury in the two-vehicle accident.

McNickle said Sutton couldn't be given a field sobriety test at the accident site because of his head injury.

Sutton initially refused to give blood for a blood

test, but the police ordered it under state law, McNickle said.

Although Sutton was technically arrested, charges in the case will be the decision of the Payne County district attorney, a decision that isn't likely until after the blood test results are available.

OSU's statement indicates that Sutton will be gone from the team for rest of the season.

OSU's statement quoted Sutton as saying: "It has been an extremely difficult season. With my deteriorating physical condition and other issues, I have been under a tremendous amount of stress. I told (OSU President David) Schmidly I was close to making this decision after the trip to Kansas State because the pain in my back was making it very difficult to coach. After Friday's events, I know it is best to go on medical leave the remainder of the season to address my future health."

The statement doesn't address the arrest.

"It is very difficult to step away from the team," Sutton says in the statement. "But I know they are in great hands. The season has not gone as we wished, but we have a talented and fine group of young men and I look for them to finish the season strong. I won't be on the bench, but I'll be with them."

The statement also quoted Schmidly, but again did not address the accident.

"Coach Sutton has been dealing with constant back and hip problems the last couple of seasons and after last Friday's accident he feels this is the best decision for his health and for the team," Schmidly says in the statement.

The statement says that Schmidl and Sutton said no decision has been made regarding the coach's plans for next season.

"Coach Sutton will continue to heal and that is something we will discuss at the appropriate time," OSU Vice President for Athletics Mke Holder says in the statement.

Sutton's son and head-coach designate Sean Sutton will lead the team the remainder of the season.
