Early Friday morning, Leo Lewis, a junior linebacker from Brookhaven, was arrested by Starkville Police Department for disorderly conduct.
According to a press release from the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s office, Lewis was taken into custody after officers were clearing traffic from Aspen Heights as a large crowd blocked the road. The officers directed traffic in one direction, but Lewis went the other. After several attempts to gain compliance from Lewis, the officers placed him in custody, he was processed and released on a $483 bond.
Mississippi State University has released a statement regarding the incident.
“We are aware of the situation involving Leo Lewis earlier (Friday) morning,” the statement read. “We are still collecting information and will have no further comment at this time.”
