Richard Roberts, the son of the late evangelist Oral Roberts, was arrested Tuesday for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper stopped the 63-year-old just past midnight driving 93 miles per hour in his Mercedes-Benz.
According to the arrest report, Roberts failed a breathalyzer and field sobriety test.
The officer "detected the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage about Roberts' breath and person," the report said.
Roberts served as president of Oral Roberts University for 15 years before stepping down in 2007.
He currently hosts a nightly television show called, "The Place for Miracles: Your Hour of Healing."
"Our prayers go out to Richard and Lindsay Roberts and their entire family as they face this life challenge," ORU officials said in a statement. "May God's grace help them as they work towards healing."

This comments are interesting, especially this one:
"When will people who name the name of Christ ever learn that they are to try the spirits and realize Not to deify, idolize, revere or even trust beyond measure those who set themselves up as teachers, get ordained etc. I learned the hard way after thinking Swaggart and Bakker were inerrant and getting angry and bitterly disappointed. Wake up people, please! These things no longer shock me. Let's not forget that Richard's father was privy to visions that most of us were not. He had a vision of a 500 ft. Jesus urging him to build some project or other at ORU, or was it 700 ft!I live in the northeast and it seems disturbingly clear that those in the Bible Belt are 100 times more susceptible to being duped than those elsewhere in the country. Pastors/leaders/teachers, especially in the faith. charismatic movement should be scrutinized MORE than ever; thier private lives and thier use of funds that YOU donate. Dui is what Roberts does with his "seed" faith? Be suspicious of ALL, God gave us basic intelligence to think and reason and not be duped by wolves in sheep's clothing. "
