Police arrested Berkstresser for hitting a car parked in the street. They say he left without notifying the car’s owner.

No one was injured in the accident, but Berkstresser’s car reportedly damaged the other car’s front passenger side and rear.

Berkstresser is one of the university’s quarterbacks, and is a redshirt freshman.

He was released on $4,500 bond.
