“A member of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari’s staff has been charged with DUI,” wrote WHAS. “Lexington Police said Chris Woolard was found on Monday in his car, which was resting on the sidewalk next to a fence still in gear.
“Police said Woolard was covered in vomit, and they could smell alcohol on him.”
Woolard was arrested and charged after being issued a sobriety test, according to WHAS.
Woolard is in his 12th season as the associate athletics director for basketball operations at Kentucky, as well as serving as the executive director for the Calipari Foundation.
WHAS asked Kentucky to comment, and the school said: “We are aware of the situation, and we are handling the matter internally.”
Calipari’s Wildcats open their season on Nov. 7 against Howard at Rupp Arena.
