on suspicion of driving under the influence:
USC safety Josh Pinkard was arrested this month on suspicion of driving under the influence, Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Tuesday.
Pinkard, a junior from Oxnard, was arrested May 18 at 3:44 a.m. after a California Highway Patrol officer noticed a car swerving as it traveled from the eastbound Pomona Freeway to the northbound Long Beach Freeway, CHP spokesman Bill Preciado said.
Pinkard, 21, gave a breath sample after he was stopped and another after he was taken to the CHP's East Los Angeles station, according to Preciado. The CHP report identified Pinkard as a USC student, though not a football player.
