Eugene police arrested a 19-year-old University student on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol early Sunday morning on campus.
History major Phillip Donnelly Jones was charged with drunken driving, being a minor in possession of alcohol and traveling the wrong way on a one-way street after a police sergeant pulled him over at East 13th Avenue and Kincaid Street shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, according to police.
The sergeant watched as Jones, who was driving a maroon 1999 Ford Explorer, pulled out of the 7-Eleven parking lot on Broadway Avenue and Patterson Street northwest of campus, said Kerry Delf, police spokeswoman. Jones drove off a curb as he left the lot and headed the wrong way on Patterson, Delf said.

He was released to his roommate after being charged.
