Mizzou football player suspended following arrest

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Mizzou football player Stacy Brown is suspended from the team following his arrest early Monday morning.

According to MUPD, an officer stopped Brown for a traffic violation near the intersection of Rock Quarry Road and Rolling Rock Road at 1:09 a.m. on Monday. He was allegedly going 16-to-19 miles per hour over the speed limit.

Following the stop, MUPD arrested Brown on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a firearm and speeding.

Brown was taken to Boone County jail, and his bond was set at $13,000.

"We're aware of the situation involving Stacy Brown," Head coach Eli Drinkwitz said in a release on Tuesday. "He is suspended, per athletics department policy. We'll continue to gather information and determine the best course of action."

This comes just a few days before spring camp is set to begin on Friday. Brown is a rising senior on the Tigers defense. He played in eight games last season, totaling nine tackles.
