OU football: Baker Mayfield arrested in Arkansas on Saturday morning

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield was arrested in Fayetteville, Ark., on four misdemeanor charges in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Mayfield, a 2016 Heisman finalist who announced in December that he would return for his senior season, was arrested on a charge of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, fleeing and resisting arrest.

He was arrested at 2:56 a.m. Saturday and was released from the Washington County Detention Center at 11:23 a.m. when he posted bond.

According to Mayfield's arrest report, a man flagged down the officer at 2:29 a.m. to take an assault and battery report. The man was yelling at Mayfield, who told the officer that he was trying to break up an altercation that occurred before the officer got there.
