Social Media Reaction to Baker Mayfield’s Arrest

An OU football player was arrested on Friday. No that’s not a joke. It’s happened again.

Baker Mayfield drank too much and got tackled by an Arkansas cop. Thankfully it doesn’t seem like anyone was put in danger because of Mayfield’s actions.

Twinter lit up with commentary of course, though, and this isn’t the best of what we saw.

To be real. Nobody in SEC country has caught him until now. Fayetteville PD jumps into top 25 now.

Well, you may be on to something here…

Eh, it was worth a shot. #Sources

Sources confirm: Mike Gundy is not recruiting the police officer who tackled Mayfield.

This…

Cop must've run a 4.4 40, catching him from behind and all. https://t.co/5P7eDBAIgT

Maybe, that officer still has a chance.

Arkansas should definitely sign whichever cop caught a fleeing Baker Mayfield. Best defense played by any Razorback this year.

At least he (hopefully) had a good time earlier in the evening.

Clay Travis from the top rope.

Positive for Oklahoma fans is at least Baker Mayfield wasn’t charged with punching any women. Might have cost him a half against UTEP.

Always best to look at the bright side.

Underrated part about the Baker Mayfield arrest is the booking time. 8:21 AM. First guy in the jail. NFL scouts love that work ethic. pic.twitter.com/i6PV2S5vJi

Legal problems are serious business in Norman.

That’s not great.

In all seriousness, I agree with this.

This isn't to condemn Mayfield, but you can't use the "typical college behavior" excuse on a non-typical college student. False argument.
