New Mexico football recruit arrested for drunk driving in head coach Mike Locksley's car

The brief but sordid head coaching career of New Mexico's Mike Locksley took another wayward turn this weekend, when a 19-year-old was pulled over for a DWI while driving Locksley's car.

Joshua Butts, who told police he was a New Mexico football recruit heading to the stadium, was pulled over in a dark blue SUV registered to Locksley and his wife. Butts alcohol level was 0.16 and he was charged with aggravated DWI, minor in possession of alcohol, reckless driving and driving without a license.
