Slusher, Brown booked for disorderly conduct
According to the preliminary reports, Brown was among a group of people standing in the street around 2 a.m. off of Dickson St. An officer told the 2022 safety signee to get off of the street, an order with which he complied. However, according to the report, the officer noted Brown “intentionally standing in the roadway a second time.”
The officer stated he grabbed the sleeve on Brown’s right arm and walked him to the sidewalk, where the Razorback player allegedly pushed him away.
“Brown was taken to the ground and taken into custody,” according to the report. “Brown engaged in fighting behavior, congregated with two or more other people in a public place refusing to comply with a lawful order to disperse, and obstructed vehicular traffic in a public place.”
In a separate arrest report, another officer witnessed Myles Slusher allegedly grab the officer who had taken down Brown and pushed him away. Other officers separateed the elder Hogs DB from the situation.
The report also states Slusher initially refused to give the officers his name or date of birth until transport arrived at the scene.
The game versus Liberty was the first one back for Slusher after he missed several weeks with a calf injury. In the 21-19 loss, he recorded five tackles, including a sack. Brown hasn’t recorded any stats for the Razorbacks through Week 10 this season.
