Should DUI accusations (dismissed as Not Guilty in court) be included on the page?

This information has been controversial: − On March 12, 2016, Prescott was arrested for driving under the influence in Starkville, Mississippi. Prescott took two breathalyzer tests neither of which yielded a valid result. The first result was an "invalid sample" and the second was an "insufficient sample."[1] [2] On July 27, 2016, he appeared in Starkville Municipal Court and was found not guilty on all charges.[3] [http://www.wcbi.com/video-prescott-found-not-guilty [4]

per WP:BLPCRIME, inclusion of a crime for which a living person has not been convicted (in this case charges dismissed) should be discussed before inclusion. At this point I'm just opening discussion, I may or may not comment later. Please remember to be WP:CIVIL, thanks! Jacona (talk) 13:02, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly feel that it needs to be included because many sources have suggested it affected when he was drafted. [5] [6] [7]. I was about to add it myself before I decided to check the talk page. I'll wait a day or two, but if nobody objects, I'm just going to add it, and if somebody has a problem, we can discuss it further. JDDJS (talk) 01:23, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have twice removed the section about his DUI driving charge and subsequent acquittal. I agree with User:JaconaFrere, per WP:BLPCRIME; he was found not guilty. Of course there will be news coverage of his charge and trial, but Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The article also contained text inferring the DUI charge "caused Prescott to fall lower in the draft." None of the 3 sources cited provided evidence of this; the sources were journalistic speculation and the text was removed per WP:NOTGOSSIP. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This tidbit has no encyclopedic value. Lizard (talk) 15:28, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
