East St. Louis star and incoming five-star freshman forward Jeremiah Tilmon found himself in trouble before his first game with the Missouri men's basketball team.
MU Police arrested Tilmon early Friday morning on a charge of minor in possession of alcohol, MUPD spokesman Maj. Brian Weimer confirmed to the Post-Dispatch on Monday.
The Columbia Daily Tribune first reported the news of Tilmon's arrest.
Weimer said Tilmon, who was driving alone on Tiger Avenue near Hospital Drive, was stopped for a traffic lane violation shortly after 1:40 a.m. on Friday. Police then detected the odor of alcohol as they approached the vehicle.
