Mizzou Tigers football player Stacy Brown suspended after recent arrest
Missouri Tigers football player Stacy Brown has been suspended following a recent arrest, the school confirmed on Tuesday.
Brown, a rising senior safety from Dallas, was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning for suspicion of possession and delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Though listed without a name attached, there was a report of an arrest meeting that description at 1:09 a.m. on the University of Missouri police’s online crime log.
“We are aware of the situation involving Stacy Brown,” Mizzou football head coach Eliah Drinkwitz said in a prepared statement released to The Star. “He is suspended, per athletics department policy. We’ll continue to gather information and determine the best course of action.”
Brown played mostly as a backup and on special teams last season, while earning a start against Georgia. He had 10 total tackles, six of which were unassisted.
Per the University of Missouri’s athletic policy, any athlete arrested for a felony is suspended indefinitely until the case is resolved.
