Missouri safety Phillip Roche was arrested Monday night in Columbia, Missouri, after three separate warrants were issued for failing to appear in court.
Roche, 19, is set to begin his sophomore season with Mizzou. He was booked at 11:49 p.m. after being arrested by the MU police department, according to Boone County Sheriff’s Department records. He was released and present at Missouri’s Tuesday morning practice.
It isn't clear whether the team will suspend Roche.
"The program is handling the situation through normal university processes," program spokesperson Dave Matter wrote in a text message. In the past, university policy has required any MU athlete who has been arrested to serve a minimum one-week suspension, but the current iteration of the school's student-athlete handbook is not publicly available.
