Police say an incoming freshman on the University of Iowa football team will pay a hefty fine after stripping in an alley then leading police on a drunken foot chase through downtown Iowa City.

Riley Reiff, of Parkston, is expected to plead guilty to charges of public intoxication and interference with official acts and will pay a $562 fine.

The 19-year-old was seen acting disoriented and taking off his clothes in an alley in downtown Iowa City. Authorities say that when police approached him, Reiff took off, running into the kitchen of the Pita Pit, knocking several trays on the floor.

The pursuit continued for 20 minutes - and took eight officers. Reiff refused to take a Breathalyzer test.

Iowa officials were unavailable for comment.

How is it played out??? In the headlines it is most teenagers you see doing these stupid things. Even if it were just 1. The facts show it was a teenager. So therefore the age group is shown to act stupid. I am young myself and believe it or not I know what goes on w/ young kids.

I agree that he's a kid and all, but welcome to being a division 1 athlete. This is a good lesson for him and many others that actions of division 1 athletes are definitely under a microscope. Honestly, did he think something like this wasn't going to make the news???

What's the big deal? Why all the media? He's a kid and kids do stupid things all the time! I know adults who do worse and they don't get the media broadcast. Give the guy a rest!
