TCU QB Trevone Boykin arrested after bar fight, accused of striking officer

— -- TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested in San Antonio early Thursday morning after fighting at a bar and then striking a bicycle patrol officer.

A San Antonio police spokesperson told ESPN's Mark Schlabach that Boykin was still being held at the San Antonio City Magistrate on Thursday morning and hadn't yet posted bond. The spokesperson said no official charges had been filed against him yet.

TCU is playing Oregon in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday.

Authorities told multiple media outlets that Boykin, 22, and some teammates were in an establishment named Pat O'Brien's just before 2 a.m. when some patrons recognized the quarterback and began to trash talk. Boykin became upset and a scuffle ensued. In the melee, Boykin struck a bar employee.

Boykin and the people with him were removed from the bar, but the fight continued, according to reports. San Antonio bicycle police officers arrived at the scene and tried to stop the fight with the help of bar bouncers. According to an incident report provided by the San Antonio PD, the suspect "was very aggressive and was being held back by the group that he was with. Members of his group stated they would get him back to the hotel they were staying at."

After walking away, the suspect, whom police were told by bystanders was Boykin, charged officers. He was swinging at one officer and then several officers took him to the ground. After officers threatened to use a stun gun on Boykin, he was arrested. He faces charges of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and public intoxication, according to reports.

The crime scene investigative team photographed the officer's injuries, and he was treated by emergency medical personnel for lacerations.

The TCU athletic department issued a statement Thursday morning.

"We are aware of a situation last night and are gathering information," the statement reads. "We will continue to closely monitor this and evaluate additional details as they become available."

Boykin is a senior who passed for 3,575 yards with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. The Dallas native was a second-team All-American last season.
