According to 107.5 The Game, Nebraska Cornhuskers defensive end Eric Martin was cited Sunday for leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly backing his car into a parked vehicle late Saturday night. According to a Lincoln, Neb., police report, Martin backed his car into the bumper of an unoccupied vehicle in a Wal-Mart parking lot at about 11 p.m. local time Saturday.
The police report estimates the damage to the parked vehicle at approximately $2,000, while Martin's car incurred damage of about $500. Leaving the scene of an accident and failing to furnish information is a Class II misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Martin's citation is the second off-field incident involving a Nebraska player during the weekend. Huskers starting center Mike Caputo was cited early Sunday on suspicion of DUI after police allegedly found him slumped over the wheel of a running car.
Martin started two games this season and has 22 tackles, including three for loss and two sacks, as well as a fumble recovery.
