    Guilty plea for Purdue's Robinson announced

    Gelen Robinson, Purdue University heavyweight wrestler during the 2014-15 season, had been scheduled to go on trial Thursday, Dec. 10 after being arrested this summer for driving while intoxicated. Instead, it was revealed that the Boilermaker athlete already pled guilty on Oct. 9, the Purdue Exponent reported Thursday.

    Robinson had been arrested in June for operating while intoxicated with a BAC of .15 or more and illegal possession of an alcoholic beverage. As part of his plea agreement, Robinson must not enter any bar or liquor stores or possess any firearms, and he must attend alcohol and drug counseling and complete 40 hours of supervised community service.

    It was the second such offense for the athlete who played linebacker for the Boilermakers. In August 2014, the 20-year-old Robinson entered a diversion agreement after being cited for minor consumption by Purdue University Police Department in June 2014. A diversion agreement allows a defendant to have the charges dismissed if he or she abides by formal terms and conditions over a set period of time. According to the terms of that agreement, Robinson made a commitment to, among other things, not to "consume alcohol or alcoholic beverages" and not to "enter any bar, tavern or liquor store" for the duration of the agreement, which lasts until Aug. 3, 2015.

    A two-time Indiana state wrestling champ from Lake Central High School, Robinson compiled a 3-4 overall record during the 2014-15 season for Purdue. He is not currently listed on the wrestling team roster.
