Pemsl Arrested For Driving With Revoked License
Iowa forward Cordell Pemsl was suspended for one game after he was arrested by Iowa City police early Monday morning for driving with a revoked license.
Pemsl, 22, was arrested at 1:02 a.m. Monday when an officer noticed the car that Pemsl was driving, a 2009 Ford Escape, had a broken taillight cover. Pemsl gave the officer an Iowa identification card and said he did not have his license with him.
Pemsl's license had been revoked after his arrest for drunken driving in September. It was to be reinstated on March 28.
Pemsl was suspended for Thursday's game at Indiana for violating the university's student-athlete code of conduct.
It was Pemsl's second suspension of the season. He was suspended for Iowa's exhibition game against Lindsey Wilson College and the Hawkeyes' season opener against SIU-Edwardsville after his September arrest.
Pemsl, a fourth-year junior, has played in 22 games this season, averaging 12.2 minutes in a reserve role. He averages 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds.
