This is disappointing.
The West Virginia mascot — well, the man who dresses up as the West Virginia mascot — has been relieved of his duties as a result of a DUI arrest.
Troy Clemons is his actual name.
Alex Lang, who is a “cops and courts” reporter with The Dominion Post, broke the news via Twitter on Friday.
Lang said court records indicated that Clemons had been arrested with a .126 BAC (blood alcohol concentration).
Clemons will not participate in activities, including Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State, while facts are being gathered, Lang reported.
