Trevone Boykin on felony arrest: ‘Words can’t describe how sorry I am’

But they’ll have to do without Boykin and wide receive Preston Miller, who were suspended for a “violation of team rules”, coach Gary Patterson said in a statement.

Trevone Boykin issued an apology through his official Twitter account following his arrest in San Antonio and suspension from Saturday’s TCU appearance in the Valero Alamo Bowl.

Police charged Boykin with felony assault of a police officer stemming from a bar fight early Thursday morning. Multiple officers threatened to taser Boykin before he finally subsided, NBC San Antonio reported.

“I have no excuses for my very poor decision, and I’m embarrassed about it”, Boykin wrote.

Police said that’s when Boykin became aggressive, and indiscriminately hit an officer. It started with TCU players, including Boykin, allegedly scuffling with patrons. He came back. He was finally subdued after being threated with a (stun gun). Boykin has been charged with felony assault of a police officer.

A police report said Boykin was fighting with employees at Pat O’Brien’s bar. We don’t know if he was swinging at the officer or someone behind him. “Clearly, this was not an appropriate way to act”, McManus said of Boykin’s behavior. According to the San Antonio Police Chief, William McManus, it is unclear if Boykin meant to take a swing at the officer or if his punch was intended for someone else. “He’s a good person”, TCU running back Aaron Green said.
