The head coach of the Hofstra University men's basketball team was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of drunk driving, according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Police arrested Timothy Welsh, 49, at 1 a.m. at the intersection of Hempstead Turnpike and N. Bellmore Road after they spotted his 2006 Lexus stopped at a "steady green light."
Welsh, a former coach at Providence who was just hired by Hofstra on March 31, will be arraigned Friday on a charge of driving while intoxicated.
Karla Schuster, assistant vice president of university relations at Hofstra, stated to PIX 11 News, "We have learned through media reports of the charges against Mr. Welsh. Effective immediately, he has been suspended without pay, while the University investigates the charges against him."
