New Details: Three UTEP football players, general manager arrested
Update (5:18 PM): Court documents state that Kane Bowen was allegedly involved in a fight in an alley in the Cincinnati Entertainment District on December 7.
That night, police officers got two calls, one reporting shots fired near Cincinnati Street, and the other reporting a fight.
Officers arrived at the scene to find Bowen and several others fighting in the alley. When they saw the officers, the group, including Bowen, started running south toward Cincinnati Street.
One of the police officers deployed his taser, hitting Bowen's lower back and buttocks, according to court documents. The taser caused "full neuromuscular incapacitation," causing Bowen to fall forward and hit his face. In his booking photo, Bowen can be seen covered in face bandages. Bowen is charged with evading arrest or detention as a result of this incident, according to court documents.
Update (3:18 PM): UTEP football player Jordan Andrus was arrested for marijuana possession after a fight outside of a Cincinnati Entertainment District bar.
Court documents obtained by ABC-7 state that Andrus was arrested outside a bar located at 2720 North Mesa, in the Cincinnati Entertainment District, on December 7. Officers were called out on reports of a shooting, the court documents explain.
When the officers got to the bar, they found a large crowd outside Kyoshi Sound House Bar. They then heard screaming and saw people running out of the bar. Officers then reported seeing four people, including Andrus, fighting. While the officers were responding, court documents state that the group started walking away from the bar. An officer ran and caught up with Andrus and the others, who have not been named.
Court documents state that while he was arresting Andrus, the officer found a "green leafy substance rolled in a white paper" in the front pocket of Andrus' sweater. The substance weighed 0.07 ounces and tested positive for marijuana, according to court documents.
A security guard at the bar also claimed that Andrus had punched him.
In addition to marijuana possession, Andrus is also charged with disorderly conduct for the fight.
