FRANKFORT, Ky. — Former Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie has left a central Kentucky jail following an arrest on a charge of driving under the influence.

Gillispie's lawyer, Darran Winslow of Louisville, says Gillispie was released on his own recognizance, but declined further comment.

Police dispatcher Todd Sparrow said Lawrenceburg police arrested Gillispie on the DUI charge and took him to jail in neighboring Franklin County.

Gillispie had a cell phone to his ear in the back of a vehicle Thursday morning as he left the jail with his lawyer and another man.

WLEX-TV in Lexington reports that Gillispie was pulled over in a white Mercedes with Texas tags around 2:45 a.m. Thursday after someone reported seeing the car driving erratically.

Gillispie was replaced by Memphis coach John Calipari this year after a rocky two-year tenure in which the Wildcats went 40-27.
