Florida State kicker Conor McAneney was arrested in Fort Lauderdale and charged with multiple offenses, including two felonies.
Trespassing is a first-degree misdemeanor, while resisting an officer with violence and battery on an officer are both third-degree felonies.
Per the incident report, McAneney had been removed from several bars for disorderly conduct, eventually leading to police being called around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Police say that McAneney became “uncooperative and violent,” grabbing onto barrier gates in an effort to prevent being removed from the bar. The arresting officer says that McAneney then grabbed him by the shirt in an effort to pull him down (“nearly falling through the barrier into the roadway where traffic was flowing”), which led the officer to punch the kicker in the face twice in an effort to subdue him. The report says he continued to struggle after force was used, but eventually was subdued and arrested, being taken to the hospital before jail.
