Missouri senior defensive lineman Antar Thompson was arrested by MU police Sunday night for resisting arrest and operating a motor vehicle in a careless manner from an incident that occurred earlier in the weekend.
Around 9 p.m. on Friday, an MUPD officer tried to stop Thompson, 25, for a traffic violation and he failed to stop, MUPD's Sara Diedrich said in an email. Just 10 minutes earlier, a different MUPD officer had stopped Thompson for speeding.
Due to officers knowing the identity of the driver, the brief pursuit was abandoned, Diedrich said. Thompson was taken into custody without incident Sunday afternoon.
