Police members asked the man to get out of the vehicle. Once he did, since he showed signs of intoxication, he was taken into custody and taken to Regina police headquarters where charges were laid.

A court date has been set for October 31, 2018.

Hughes was acquired by Saskatchewan via an off-season trade and leads the CFL with 15 sacks through 16 games in 2018.
