Nebraska tight end Justin Tomerlin was arrested early Sunday morning for driving under the influence, according to Lincoln police Capt. David Beggs. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Tomerlin, a 2005 transfer from Butler County (Kan.) Community College, was stopped at 1:26 a.m. near First Street and Cornhusker Highway for changing lanes three times without signaling. His blood-alcohol content was 0.11, Beggs said. The 23-year-old Tomerlin, a native of San Clemente, Calif., sat out last season as a redshirt.
