According to the Roanoke Times, Bucky Hodges, the Hokies’ third team All-ACC tight end, was arrested and charged Sunday for public swearing/intoxication, a misdemeanor charge. The incident occurred “around 12:30 Sunday morning” in a parking lot of at The Edge Apartments in Blacksburg, Va.


Hodges, 19, was booked and released from Montgomery County Jail later Sunday morning.


Virginia Tech is aware of the incident.


"We have been made aware of the situation and are closely monitoring," Virginia Tech executive associate athletics director Desiree Reed-Francois told the Times. "We have an institutional policy in place and will abide by the letter and spirit.”


Hodges, who just finished his redshirt freshman season, arrived at the program in 2013 as a quarterback. He was then moved to tight end and flourished, registering 45 receptions for 526 yards and seven touchdowns – all of which are school records for a tight end.
