Seattle police say University of Washington standout tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday night.

The police report on the incident says Seferian-Jenkins had a bloody nose consistent with hitting his face on the windshield and the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage.

Seattle police released the report on Monday morning. Names are redacted in the report, but a detective said Sunday that Seferian-Jenkins was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The school also released a statement Sunday acknowledging Seferian-Jenkins was involved in an incident Saturday night.

The police report states the vehicle was found at the bottom of a catch basin at a park near the University of Washington. The driver was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he objected to a blood test before police obtained a search warrant to draw his blood.

Names are redacted, but the only people discussed in the report are the driver and one witness. The report was released by police in response to a request for information on an incident involving Seferian-Jenkins.

In a statement Sunday, Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said Seferian-Jenkins made decisions ''that fall short of our expectations for student-athletes.''
