Billy Gillispie was charged with driving under the influence early Thursday after police who pulled him over said his speech was slurred and he smelled of alcohol.

Gillispie is the former head coach of Kentucky.

A police report said the arrest happened at 2:47 a.m. along a highway in Lawrenceburg, which is about 30 miles from Lexington where Gillispie coached the Wildcats until earlier this year.
