A college basketball player found himself under arrest this week after he allegedly punched a police officer.
Cal State Northridge guard De’Sean Allen-Eikens was arrested a few days ago. The Division I college basketball player faces multiple charges after Fort Lauderdale police said he fought a security guard at a bar packed with spring breakers and then punched a police officer in the face.
“According to witnesses, Allen-Eikens had been drinking at the Rock Bar, located at 219 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., when he was asked to leave by a bouncer.
A fight broke out between Allen-Eikens and the bouncer, with the bouncer throwing the 6-foot-6 customer to the ground and swinging his fist at him,” 7 News in Miami reports.
The below video shows a security staffer tackling and punching the 22-year-old before a police officer intervenes in the struggle.
Officer Joseph Perez wrote in his report that Allen-Eikens punched his hands down from his body, then punched him two times in the face, causing Perez to punch him back.
In the video, after being tackled, Allen-Eikens asks the officer to get off his chest.
“I can’t breathe, sir,” Allen-Eikens said.
“What did I do?” Allen-Eikens asks.
“You hit me in the face.”
“Who hit you in the face?” Allen-Eikens asks.
“You hit me in the face.”
“Can y’all back me up please?” Allen-Eikens asks the gathering crowd. “I didn’t hit that n—- in the face.”
The junior college basketball player averaged 11.1 points, five rebounds, and 1.3 assists.
He was eventually released on a $1,000 bond.
