Razorback’s Car Trouble: Arkansas senior guard Eric Ferguson will face punishment from coach Stan Heath, though he won’t say exactly what that will entail, after police arrested him for driving while intoxicated and careless and prohibited driving. Ferguson was arrested for a similar charge, minus the drunk driving part, last year, so Heath said he is especially disappointed with the recent trouble. Heath had said after the incident occurred in August that a suspension would not be part of the team’s punishment. But combined with the arrest last year, Heath may not have a choice to maintain a minimum behavioral standard for the team. Last season, Ferguson started about half the Razorbacks’ games, averaging 8.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.
Update:Heath has suspended Ferguson for the team’s opener against Portland State. Heath did not comment further on the suspension.
