According to an arrest report, McAneney was being removed from Rock Bar at 225 S. Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard by security and was resisting when police stepped in to assist.
When McAneney grabbed the barrier gates to the business, an officer grabbed him under his arms to make him release his grip, the report said. McAneney then grabbed the officer’s arm/shirt and attempted to pull him down.
The officer punched McAneney twice in the face and brought him to the ground but he continued to resist but after a brief struggle was handcuffed, the report said.
McAneney was taken to a local hospital before he was booked into jail. The arrest report said security removed McAneney from several bars that night for causing disturbances.
McAneney, a sophomore from Plumbridge, Ireland, played last year for Quincy University in Illinois before transferring to FSU, according to his FSU bio.
