California Golden Bears linebacker Joseph Ogunbanjo was arrested over the weekend after engaging with a Berkeley police officer.
“After starting a conversation with the officer at the driver’s side window, the man asked the officer about his handgun and whether or not he could drive the police vehicle. When the officer told the man that he could not drive the vehicle and directed him to step away from the police vehicle, the man forcibly opened the driver’s side door,” BPD said in a prepared statement.
The officer got out of his vehicle and ordered the man to sit on the ground.
