Hawaii RB Joey Iosefa suspended three games for DUI Arrest

After his DUI on Sunday morning in Honolulu, Joey Iosefa will be suspended for three games, head coach Norm Chow announced on Tuesday.

The Senior running back was arrested at 5 a.m. Sunday morning in downtown Honolulu on suspicion of drunk driving, where he failed a sobriety test and blew a .155 on the breathalyzer, which is twice the legal limit. He would post $500 bail and was released Sunday morning. Iosefa is due back in court on November 11th.

"After meeting with other members of the staff, the leadership council, and AD Ben Jay, Joey (Iosefa) will be suspended immediately." Chow announced on Tuesday, "His actions were not reflective of the entire team and he feels badly that he let down his teammates and the community."
