For print:

A Liberty University football quarterback was arrested yesterday for illegally attempting to flee the scene of an accident.

Betty Bornokowski, the Lynchburg Police Department Spokeswoman, said twenty-year-old Brian O'Neil was caught by police as he attempted to leave the scene at 26 North 9th St. without first notifying the other vehicle's owner. The accident occurred at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. Although no one was injured, O'Neil may face felony charges if the damage to the car is estimated to be worth more than $1,000.

O'Neil was released after posting his $5,000 bail.

Nothing was said, either from football coach Harry Winkle or Liberty's athletic department, about a suspension from the football team. The quarterback took over the position when the original starter, Franklin James, got injured during spring training.
