SHEFFIELD, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama freshman linebacker Earnest Lee Nance was arrested Tuesday on disorderly conduct charges stemming from a bar incident, police said.
Nance went to the Sheffield Police Department with his attorneys to turn himself in, according to a statement released by Police Chief Doug Aycock. He was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and released on bond.
A court date was set for Sept. 22.
Aycock said Nance was involved in an incident at the Fiesta Club in Sheffield early Sunday morning. In a story reported before Nance's arrest was announced, Aycock told The Tuscaloosa News that there had been a fight at the bar and that a suspect had displayed a firearm in his waistband and told an officer he was an Alabama football player.
When the officer grabbed his arm, the gun fell to the ground and the suspect fled the bar, Aycock told the newspaper.
Nance, who redshirted in 2003, rushed for 827 yards and nine touchdowns and had 84 tackles before sustaining a season-ending knee injury as a senior at Courtland High School.
Sheffield is located in Colbert County in northwest Alabama, about 108 miles from the University of Alabama's campus in Tuscaloosa.
