Creighton basketball player Maurice Watson Jr. turned himself into police Sunday afternoon on charges of first-degree sexual assault, per Kevin Cole and Nancy Gaarder of the Omaha World-Herald.

Cole and Gaarder noted the arrest warrant for Watson was issued Thursday, and he turned himself in about an hour after "police issued a statement voicing concern about Watson's whereabouts and the fact that he'd not yet materialized."

Adam Krueger of CBS Omaha, Nebraska, shared Watson's mugshot:
