Garden City Community College sophomore offensive lineman Phil Loadholt was arrested early Sunday morning in Manhattan on allegations of disorderly conduct.
According to Manhattan police, Loadholt, 20, 505 W. Campus Drive, Apt. B, was arrested at 2:30 a.m. Sunday. He was released on $750 bond.
"I'm just trying to get all the details. I haven't got all the details from up there yet," GCCC coach J.J. Eckert said when reached by phone Monday afternoon.
Riley County police Lt. Mike Quintanar said the following took place:
Loadholt was arguing with another man in front of a large crowd on the lawn of a house in the 900 block of Bluemont in Manhattan. An officer pulled Loadholt away and a friend said he would take care of Loadholt. As they were walking away, someone yelled something, and Loadholt returned to the area and was seen by an officer throwing a punch at an unidentified man.
Quintanar said Loadholt's punch did not land.
Eckert was unavailable for comment this morning.
Loadholt, a 6-foot-9, 340-pound lineman from Fort Carson, Colo., signed to play at Louisiana State in February after his freshman campaign at Garden City. But according to the LSU sports information office, he was unable to qualify academically and instead returned to play at GCCC this fall.
