Arizona Cardinals linebacker Alex Okafor was arrested Monday morning in Austin, Texas, on a misdemeanor charge of evading arrest.

Police said they were called out due to a disturbance in the city’s downtown entertainment district, and when they arrived, Okafor ran away. He was taken into custody around 2 a.m.

Police said Okafor also had a warrant out for his arrest on a Class C misdemeanor charge, but no other information on that case was immediately available.

Okafor, 24, was a 2013 fourth-round pick by the Cardinals. He missed most of his rookie season due to injury but recorded eight sacks in 13 games in 2014, along with 28 tackles and one interception.

Okafor played for the University of Texas under coach Mack Brown from 2009 to 2012.
