FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has been arrested in Arkansas.

Online records show that Mayfield, 21, was arrested on complaints of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, fleeing and resisting arrest. He was booked into the Washington County (Arkansas) Jail shortly after 8:20 a.m. Saturday.

"We are aware of the matter and are learning the details," said Mike Houck, OU's assistant athletics director for communications. "We don't have any other information at this time."

Mayfield was released from the jail at 11:23 a.m. According to a booking report, an officer responded to a report of an assault and battery shortly before 2:30 a.m. Saturday. The officer tried to talk to Mayfield, who started to yell profanities and was causing a scene, the report said.

Mabe Oklahoma should offer a scholarship to the officer that tackled him.

You gotta figure he was staggering away instead of avoiding a pass rush. He was also weighed down by all the nacho cheese and other food he had on the front of his shirt.

I would say he had to be pretty intoxicated if he let the cops catch him.
