Highland Park High quarterback who faces DWI charge may miss season's first game

Highland Park senior quarterback Luke Woodley is likely to miss the first game of the season because of his arrest last spring on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

Woodley, 18, was pulled over shortly before 3 a.m. on May 3 near Oak Lawn and Wycliff avenues, according to a Highland Park police affidavit. The affidavit said Woodley had been spotted driving an SUV the wrong way on Wycliff, which is a one-way street at that point.

The officer smelled alcohol in the car and "immediately noticed that the driver's eyes were glassy and his pupils dilated," the affidavit said. In addition, the driver's speech was slurred, it said.

An open case of Keystone Light and an open can of the beer were found in the car, it said.

Woodley did not return a telephone call Thursday seeking comment.

A court date is scheduled for Wednesday, according to the Dallas County district clerk's office. Under Highland Park's extracurricular code of conduct, a typical suspension for a serious offense would be three games or scrimmages.

The Park Cities People Web site reported Thursday that Woodley missed the team's annual Blue-Gold football scrimmage in May for disciplinary reasons. The team's next event is a preseason scrimmage against Plano West on Aug. 21. That's followed by the first regular-season game, the Tom Landry Classic against Red Oak on Aug. 29.
