McAneney has his bond listed at $2,750.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usports.org\/photos\/most-infamous-athlete-mugshots-ever-slideshow-and-the-stories-behind-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">&gt;SLIDESHOW: 50 MOST-INFAMOUS ATHLETE MUGSHOTS &amp; THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>McAneney was seen trespassing on a beach in the early morning of March 18. Police attempted to arrest him. However, according to police reports, McAneney became uncooperative and violent.<\/p>\n<p>Police said they needed to use force to detain McAneney. He was taken to Broward Health Medical Center before being sent to jail.<\/p>\n<p>The trespassing charge would\u2019ve just been a misdemeanor. However, after allegedly resisting arrest, he will now face two third-degree felonies as well. In Florida, a third-degree felony can carry up to 5 years in prison or a $5,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>McAneney transferred from Quincy University earlier this year. Quincy University is a Division II school in Quincy, Illinois.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fellow kicker Gabe Panikowski also transferred to Florida State. Panikowski transferred from Division I Oklahoma State. The two kickers were expected to compete for a starting spot, although Panikowski was the favorite to win the starting spot even before McAneney\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Florida State lost two kickers during the offseason. Jake Weinberg and Brunno Reus both left the team in the transfer portal. Weinberg transferred to Miami while Reus transferred to Missouri.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McAneney went 7 of 10 in field goal attempts last season. He averaged 60 yards in his kickoffs as well, which is considered on the low end of NFL-level kickers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unknown whether McAneney has paid his bond. There is also no trial date set for him as well. Under Florida law, defendants must be tried for a misdemeanor within 90 days and a felony within 175 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLike<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLike<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLove<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHaha<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWow<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSad<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAngry<\/p>\n<p>Read more about:<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"avatar\" class=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Matt_Mendives-150x150.webp.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\tListen to the uInterview Podcast!<br \/> Get the most-revealing celebrity conversations with the uInterview podcast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida State kicker Conor McAneney was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on charges of battery on a law&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61171,1320,93244,232,234,233],"class_list":["post-202393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-conor-mcaneney","tag-florida-state","tag-sports-mugshots","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
