According to Lincoln police Reilly was driving a 2007 Hyundai Sonata headed north on I-180. Reilly failed to signal a turn on Superior street, causing the office to initiate a traffic stop. Officers noticed alcohol on Reilly's breath and conducted field sobriety tests which led to Reilly being taken into custody for official testing. Reilly officially tested at .15, or nearly twice the legal limit.

The maximum penalty for a first offense DUI is up to sixty days in jail. The most common penalty is some form of probation, license suspension, and a fine of up to $500. As for a possible suspension from football activity, Nebraska Athletics released the following statement.
