COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) A South Carolina football player was charged with drunken driving in Alabama over the Memorial Day weekend, authorities said.<br>
<br>
Gamecock sophomore Dustin Lindsey was stopped for speeding early Saturday and found to be driving while under the influence, according to a report from the Mobile, Ala., Police Department.<br>
<br>
``I didn't know about that one. We'll have to handle it the best we can,'' South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said Tuesday during the Southeastern Conference meetings. ``They got him, but we're not going to kick him off the team for that.''<br>
<br>
Lindsey, a linebacker, appeared in eight games for South Carolina last year as a freshman. He is credited with four tackles and played mainly on special teams. His twin brother, Jordin Lindsey, is also a South Carolina linebacker.<br>
<br>
The Mobile Register reported Tuesday that Lindsey was released on $1,000 bail. The paper reported that at least 34 people were arrested for drunken driving in Mobile County during the weekend.<br>
