According to a Little Rock Police report, star Razorback Darren McFadden was involved in an altercation at a Little Rock night spot on Wednesday evening. The report states that D-Mac was placed in handcuffs for a brief period but wasn’t charged.
Here’s the report from LRPD Officer Bauldree:
“I was in the 300 blk of President Clinton Ave. and noticed some form of a disturbance spilling out of the front door to Ernie Biggs Piano Bar. I realized it was some fight that occurred and radioed for backup to a large disturbance.
“I obtained the names of the five suspects, but was told by both Victim 1 [Brant Hankins, the bouncer] and Witness 1 [Kevin Anderson of Ernie Biggs] that there were several more. Victim 1 (Hankins) stated that he was trying to prevent Suspect 1 [Bilal Mohammad] from hitting someone and began to escort Suspect 1out of the bar, but before he could get downstairs he was attacked by several persons striking him with fists to his face.
“Victim 1 refused MEMS and was advised to obtain warrants. Witness 1 (Anderson) stated that he observed Suspects 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 striking Victim 1 along with several other unknown suspects.
“Suspect 1 (Mohammad) stated that he was just trying to get to his brother and didn’t know why the bouncer, Victim 1, was grabbing and pushing him out. Suspects 2, 3, 4 and 5 all stated that they werte just trying to leave when some unknown persons were fighting.
“Suspect 2 (McFadden) was handcuffed by Officer Thomas because Suspect 2 was agitated and provoking aggressive behavior inciting the incident so to control and calm him down he was handcuffed.
“He calmed down and after investigation was released from the handcuffs. Suspect 1 had a nosebleed but refused MEMS.”
Will this at all hurt D-Mac’s NFL chances? Doubtful. It’s an interesting turn of events, though.
