TCU QB Trevone Boykin Arrested After Bar Fight

Texas Christian University quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested in San Antonio overnight after fighting at a bar and striking a bicycle patrol officer, according to authorities.

Boykin and some friends were at Pat O’Brien’s ahead of Saturday’s Alamo Bowl matchup against the Oregon Ducks when other patrons recognized him and “exchanged words,” according to NBC affiliate WOAI in San Antonio.

Boykin reportedly became upset and started trying to punch them just before 2 a.m. After Boykin struck a bar employee, he and his friends were removed from the establishment, authorities said.

San Antonio bicycle patrol officers arrived shortly after and, along with bar bouncers, tried to break up the fight. Police said Boykin’s friends restrained the quarterback and told officers they would take him back to their hotel.

Boykin was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and public intoxication.

The bicycle officer was treated at the scene for lacerations to his knees, which he suffered during the fight.
