Pope waives hearing on DUI charge

I know nothing of the New Mexico State basketball roster, but this headline sure caught my attention...

New Mexico State University freshman forward Herb Pope waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Allegheny County District Court on Tuesday.

Pope initially faced misdemeanor charges of underage drinking, drunken driving and other charges, including recklessly endangering another person, stemming from a Dec. 28 arrest by police in Moon, Pa. Pope was found unresponsive in the driver's seat of a vehicle. Pope's attorney, Pittsburgh area lawyer Arnold Klein, said the underage drinking charge was dropped.
