Longtime NFL cornerback Terence Newman was arrested late Saturday night in Manhattan, Kansas, just hours after he was honored by his alma mater for his upcoming induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Newman, 48, was arrested just before midnight on charges of disorderly conduct by brawling or fighting and criminal trespass. A spokesperson for the Riley County Police Department told the Manhattan Mercury that "Newman's charges were prompted by an altercation" with staff members inside a bar and restaurant.
Kansas State beat Kansas on Saturday in a game that kicked off at 11 a.m. CT.
Newman was an All-American and the 2002 Big 12 defensive player of the year as a senior. He was a standout returner in addition to being a shutdown corner for the Wildcats. In 2002, he returned a kickoff for a touchdown and returned two punts for touchdowns.
The Salina, Kansas, native was the No. 5 pick in the 2003 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2009 while with the franchise. After nine years with Dallas, he played three years with the Cincinnati Bengals and three with the Minnesota Vikings before retiring at the end of the 2017 season.
Through his NFL career, Newman had 42 career interceptions and returned three for touchdowns. He's part of a December CFB hall class that includes Aaron Donald, Marvin Harrison, Ndamukong Suh, Peter Warrick and Eric Weddle.
