Virginia Tech indefinitely suspended receiver Zach Luckett on Monday after his second arrest for drunken driving on Sunday.

Just after 1 a.m. and less than half a mile from the main strip of Blacksburg bars, Luckett backed his Mercury Mountaineer into a store parking lot dumpster. When Luckett pulled away without checking for damage, police who had witnessed the incident pulled him over. After failing field sobriety tests, Luckett was given a free ride to the Blacksburg police department, where a breathalyzer test revealed a blood-alcohol level of 0.16, twice the state’s legal limit.

Luckett has been charged with driving under the influence and driving on a revoked license. The revoked license was the result of a previous Luckett DUI.

Luckett was also charged and fined for public urination in Blacksburg in August 2006. Dark Side is guessing alcohol had a hand in that one as well.

Because the second DUI comes within a five-year period, Luckett faces a mandatory $500 fine and one-month jail sentence and could be imprisoned for up to a year.

Luckett’s 0.16 certainly places him high in the “drunkest driver” of the year standings, but still leaves him well short of Michigan running back Kevin Grady’s record-setting 0.281.

Luckett is one of two Hokies on this year’s team to have career catch to his name.
