A veteran Missouri defender could miss some time this season following an arrest by University of Missouri police.
Stacy Brown, a safety who appeared in 9 games last season with a start against Georgia, was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of possession and delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm. University of Missouri police confirmed the report on Tuesday to Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Brown appeared in 25 games over the past 3 seasons, mostly as a backup safety and on special teams.
Here are the details of the arrest report:
At 1:09 a.m. Monday, an MU police officer stopped Brown’s vehicle, for a traffic violation near the intersection of Rock Quarry Road and Rolling Rock Drive. Upon the officer’s investigation, Brown was arrested for the following, per MU Police: speeding 16 to 19 mph over the speed limit, possession of controlled substance, delivery of controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm in violation of subsection 11, which states that the suspect possesses a firearm while also knowingly in possession of a controlled substance. The subsection is sufficient for a felony violation, according to state law.
Under athletics department policy, any athlete arrested for a felony is suspended indefinitely until the case is resolved. Brown was taken to Boone County Jail with bond set at $13,000.
