"We are aware of Gabe Moreno's arrest," Iowa State head wrestling coach Kevin Jackson said in a statement. "We are disappointed in his actions and take these matters very seriously. Gabe has been suspended indefinitely from the team under the student-athlete code of conduct policy." There is no mention of the suspension at the official Cyclone wrestling website nor at the program's Facebook page, nor at Moreno's own Facebook page.

According to the Story County online arrest records, Gabriel James Moreno was arrested July 10, 2015 for first-time OWI. (The Iowa State campus is located in Story County.) Bond was set at $1,000. The Des Moines Register reports that the arrest took place at 12:35 a.m.

Moreno, who just finished his redshirt sophomore season, was a two-time NCAA qualifier in 2014 and 2015, and was a runner-up at 149 pounds at the 2014 Big 12 conference championships. This past season, the Urbandale, Iowa native was 26-7.

Gabe Moreno is the younger brother of Michael Moreno, 2014 NCAA All-American at 165, and the son of Mike Moreno, who was an NCAA All-American in 1992, both for Iowa State.
