    Michael Annett, a driver for Rusty Wallace's Nationwide Series team, was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with driving while intoxicated, texting while driving, failure to reduce speed and resisting an officer in the Mooresville area.

    According to the police report Annett, 24, was arrested between 1:30 and 2 a.m. and had a blood alcohol content of .32, four times the legal limit of .08. A member of the Mooresville police department said the resisting issue occurred because Annett did not want to be handcuffed.

    Rusty Wallace Racing released a statement saying team officials are working with law enforcement officials on the matter and plan stiff punishment for the driver.

    "Rusty Wallace Racing does not condone, nor tolerate, substance abuse by any of its employees," the statement said. "In line with this, RWR is currently working with Michael to develop a package of sanctions which will address this issue.

    "Among these will be successful completion of a comprehensive alcohol awareness program, a zero tolerance policy towards alcohol use, a year-long community service program and additional internal sanctions."
