Arkansas Police Tackled and Arrested Baker Mayfield After Sprinting from Scene

Baker Mayfield was arrested and charged with four counts on Friday evening in Fayetteville, including public intoxication, fleeing, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

Being a Division I quarterback and Heisman contender, his arrest went down exactly as you might imagine.

He ran.

From the police report and arresting officer’s statement, obtained by ESPN:

Mayfield was yelling profanities and causing a scene. Mayfield was intoxicated. When he first came over to me, he had difficulty walking down a couple stairs. Mayfield’s speech was slurred and he had the odor of intoxicants coming from his person.
