BYU Star Faces DUI and Fake ID Charges | Salt Lake City News
Description
BYU linebacker Ephraim Asiata’s off-field troubles hit a new low after he was arrested for DUI and using a fake ID — a move that could derail his college football future. The incident began when a deputy pulled him over for drifting, only to discover red eyes, alcohol odor, and a half-empty can hidden in the car. His breathalyzer reading? .086 — well over Utah’s legal limit. He also gave a false name and birthdate, and later confessed to using the fake ID to buy booze since he’s underage. This isn’t his first rodeo — in January 2022, he was critically injured in a shooting near Hunter High School that claimed two lives. BYU is now investigating, as Asiata, a redshirt sophomore preparing for his breakout season, faces serious consequences both on and off the field.
