Police charged Boykin with felony assault of a police officer stemming from a bar fight early Thursday morning.

Several officers took him to the ground, but he “would not comply with commands to stop resisting” until an officer warned him that he would use a Taser on him, according to Lopez.

McManus said the officer allegedly struck by Boykin was treated for a swollen face and bruised but was otherwise OK. “Naturally, it’s disappointing.” Cumbie said he thinks the arrest was out of character for the Boykin he knows. “He’s a good person”, TCU running back Aaron Green said.

I sincerely thank TCU for everything it has provided me, including an opportunity to earn my degree which I will always cherish. I hope others can learn from my mistake.

He will not play and that takes away a big part of the Offense for 10th ranked TCU.
