Nebraska's top receiver is suspected of committing his second alcohol-related offense in 14 months.

Lincoln police ticketed Niles Paul on suspicion of alcohol possession by a minor and urinating in public.

Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said an officer spotted Paul, 20, urinating on a fence at 1:23 a.m. Friday. A preliminary breath test measured Paul's blood-alcohol at .104.

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said Tuesday in a statement he met with Paul and that the matter "has been addressed and handled internally."

Paul was suspended for the balance of spring practice in April 2009 after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving. Paul was not charged with DUI. He pleaded guilty to reckless driving and being a minor in possession of alcohol.

Gah.

The fact that Paul didn’t get charged with DUI last spring may end up saving his butt from getting suspended for most of the season.

What a moron.

How is Paul only 20?

It seems like he’s been here forever.

I thought the same thing when I saw this

Stupid, but I know a whole heck of a lot of college students that got popped doing the exact same thing. Still Paul has more to lose than your average college student.

You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.

check out the

graphic here:

Niles… Niles… Niles…. it’s not much of an offense, but holy cow, man. When there is nothing else going on, it’s news. And when it’s the second time, it’s even bigger news.

Of all the people that might get caught, I’d have ranked Paul near the bottom.
