Virginia QB admits drug, alcohol use

Charlottesville, Va. — Virginia quarterback Peter Lalich admits he used marijuana and alcohol while on probation for an underage drinking charge.

Charlottesville General District Court documents show Lalich will be charged with failure to obey a court order while on probation.

Lalich was arrested on the drinking charge July 13 and was given a deferred judgment provided he completes supervised probation.

During a regular probation interview, Lalich admitted on Aug. 26 to using alcohol and marijuana. Lalich is scheduled for a Sept. 26 hearing on the latest charge.

Virginia athletic officials declined comment Friday.

Lalich started U.Va.’s opener against Southern California last weekend. Virginia hosts Richmond on Saturday.
