Former Texas Longhorn Arrested in Austin

TLDR: T’Vondre Sweat, former defensive tackle for Texas Longhorns, was taken into custody on Sunday following a suspected DWI incident in Austin. The crash took place around 4:41 a.m. on northbound I-35, where Sweat reportedly collided while driving a 2023 Ford Bronco with a 2020 Dodge sedan. The sedan driver fled by foot immediately after the collision. Sweat, aged 22, faced arrest and was booked into Travis County Jail. He later secured release on a $3,000 bond. In his admission, according to the arrest affidavit, Sweat acknowledged driving the Bronco for a short period, indicating the time frame was about five or six minutes prior to the crash. He confessed to having two or three tequila shots before he opted to drive.


In the early hours of Sunday, former University of Texas Longhorns player T’Vondre Sweat was arrested under the suspicion of driving while intoxicated following an accident in Austin. The Austin Police Department confirmed that the incident occurred at approximately 4:41 a.m., located on the southbound side of North I-35 near the 13600 block. The event brought into question the former defensive lineman’s decision-making just a few miles away from his collegiate home.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers encountered a collision between a sports utility vehicle operated by Sweat and another vehicle, specifically a 2020 Dodge sedan. Following the crash, the driver of the sedan made a swift departure by fleeing the scene on foot. Meanwhile, Sweat, 22 years old, underwent arrest and was subsequently taken to Travis County Jail, where he was charged with DWI (Driving While Intoxicated).

Reports later revealed that T’Vondre Sweat secured his release after posting a $3,000 bond. According to the spokesperson from Travis County Sheriff’s Office, his time in holding was brief before he was granted release. Additional details, per the arrest affidavit, indicate that Sweat operated a 2023 Ford Bronco that had collided with the Dodge sedan, resulting in the Bronco losing control and overturning on the service road.

During the investigation, Sweat admitted to the authorities that he had been behind the wheel of the Bronco for only a few minutes prior to the crash, estimating a duration of about five or six minutes. He further disclosed to law enforcement that he had consumed two or three shots of tequila before deciding to drive, providing significant insight into the decisions leading up to the unfortunate incident.
