Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Linebacker, Team Captain Alexander Arrested: Linebacker Rufus Alexander, Oklahoma's leading tackler, was arrested after a confrontation with police. Alexander said he was trying to stop a fight early Sunday. He was charged with disturbing the peace and interfering with official process -- both misdemeanors -- and was released after posting bail. Coach Bob Stoops was aware of what happened but had no immediate comment, school spokesman Kenny Mossman said Monday. Alexander, a team captain and an NFL prospect, told The Oklahoma Daily he was in his car with a friend, Jared Scelfo, when James Wheeler stepped in front of the vehicle. A disturbance followed and police arrived. "My friend got out of the car and I was stopping him before he did something stupid," Alexander told the student newspaper. Scelfo was arrested on the same charges as Alexander. Wheeler was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace, interfering with an official process and public intoxication. (AP/ESPN.com)
