LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Siena senior guard Ronald Moore, a star player who helped lead the Saints to the NCAA Tournament the past three seasons, has been charged with drunken driving after being pulled over near the college's suburban Albany campus.

Police in Colonie say the 21-year-old from Conshohocken, Pa., was stopped around 3 a.m. Sunday after running a red light. The officer said he smelled alcohol and Moore had blood shot eyes and slurred speech.

Moore was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. He was released and is due in court Monday.

Moore led the nation in assists this past season, averaging 7.8 per game.

He hit the winning shot in Siena's double overtime win over Ohio State in the 2009 NCAA tournament.

A Siena spokesman says the school won't comment and doesn't know if Moore has a lawyer.
