Police saw Latham drive a vehicle without his headlights on at the intersection of East 10th Street and Indiana Avenue.
A report by IU Police Department Officer Mat Lewis said Latham failed both a preliminary breath test and field sobriety tests. He was transported to the IUPD where he failed to provide a sufficient breath sample during a chemical test.
A warrant was then obtained for a blood test, and Latham was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Lab results, which will determine his blood-alcohol content, are pending.
Latham was booked into Monroe County Jail at about 5:40 a.m. on the OWI charge, a class A misdemeanor.
Latham declared for the NFL Draft on Dec. 30, 2015, foregoing what would have been his senior season with IU. He was a 4-star recruit out of high school and was one of major recruiting victories for IU Coach Kevin Wilson.
He had a tumultuous 2015 season at IU. Latham was one of several IU players to be suspended for the season opener Sept. 5, 2015 for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Latham was then suspended indefinitely Sept. 29, 2015, pending the results of a proceeding with the Office of Student Ethics. He missed the Oct. 3, 2015 matchup with Ohio State and returned the next week.
