AMES, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa State football player has been suspended from the team after his arrest in Ames. University police say 20-year-old Nigel Tribune was pulled over a little before 3 a.m. Sunday because he had not turned on his vehicle’s headlamps.

Police say Tribune failed field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test. He’s been charged with operating while intoxicated and with two traffic violations.  Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says Tribune has been suspended indefinitely from the team. Tribune is listed as a backup cornerback on the depth chart.
