FAYETTEVILLE — Blake Johnson became the second Arkansas football player in as many days to be arrested when the University of Arkansas Police Department arrested and charged him with public intoxication, minor in possession of alcohol and disorderly conduct Saturday morning.
The freshman punter was released from the Washington County Detention Center just before noon on a $630 bond.
Johnson, 18, was seen urinating on a light pole on the UA campus at about 1:40 a.m., according to the police report.
The officer noticed that Johnson had bloodshot, watery eyes and his movements were slow and uncoordinated. According to the report, he was arrested at 1:43 a.m., booked at the Washington County Detention Center at 7:08 a.m. and released on bond at 11:57 a.m.
The arrest comes the day after freshman tight end C.J. O'Grady was arrested for DWI after being pulled over for driving a scooter with a broken tail light.
It is the fourth football arrest since Bret Bielema became the Razorbacks' head coach and third this year.
When Tevin Beanum was arrested for DWI on Feb. 22, it snapped a streak of 740 days without an arrest under Bielema. O'Grady's arrest came 187 days after Beanum's, while Johnson's arrest was the day after O'Grady's.
