Ohio State men's basketball player Seth Towns was detained by Columbus Police while participating in a protest in downtown Columbus on Friday.
Video footage of Towns being handcuffed by police officers surfaced on Friday night. A source told Eleven Warriors that Towns is no longer in custody and was safe at home as of early Saturday morning. Though he was detained, he was not arrested and is not facing any criminal charges.
Protests took place in downtown Columbus for the second straight day on Friday in response to the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer on Monday.
