ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- Ohio State offensive lineman Alex Boone has been arrested after being subdued with a Taser during an alleged drunken tirade.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the 6-foot-8, 312-pound tackle was jumping on car hoods, yanking on a tow truck cable and trying to break a window when he was arrested late Sunday.
Amormino says the 21-year-old, who appeared intoxicated, was combative and uncooperative with sheriff's deputies and had to be taken down with a Taser. He was taken to a hospital and then to a jail medical ward, where he remains.
Boone, who was selected All-Big Ten this year, could be selected in the NFL draft in April.
