A longtime administrator for John Calipari’s Kentucky basketball program was arrested this week for driving under the influence.

In an arrest report obtained by WHAS-11, police found Chris Woolard Monday in his car Monday night on a sidewalk near a fence. He smelled of alcohol, was covered in vomit and the car was still in gear. He was arrested for a DUI after failing a field sobriety test.

Chris Woolard was preparing to begin his 12th season as UK’s associate athletics director for basketball operations. He joined the staff ahead of the 2011-12 National Championship season. Woolard also serves as the executive director for the Calipari Foundation.

A representative from the university tells WHAS, “We are aware of the situation and we are handling the matter internally.”
