Former Fighting Illini basketball player Joseph Bertrand was arrested on Saturday morning for domestic battery. The News-Gazette reports that the Champaign police got involved after some sort of incident took place between Bertrand and his girlfriend; no other details have been made public yet. Bertrand joined Illinois' roster in 2009 and, after redshirting, he played with the program until graduating in 2014.

The state's attorney office hasn't charged Bertrand with any crime, but he's scheduled to be back in court this Wednesday so there's a possibility that may change.
