Hogs P Blake Johnson arrested after taking a leak on a light pole

Just last month we were espousing the virtues of a Bret Bielema-run Arkansas football program that had seen just two of his Razorbacks arrested since he took over in December of 2012. That’d qualify as an oops as, the last two days, Bielema has seen that number double.

First, tight end C.J. O’Grady, on a scooter no less, was arrested and charged with, among other things, driving while intoxicated. A day later, another Razorback was popped for an alcohol-related incident.

According to KFSM-TV in Fayetteville, Blake Johnson was arrested very early Saturday morning and charged with public intoxication, minor in possession and disorderly conduct. The incident that led to the charges?

According to a police report, Johnson was found urinating on a light pole in a university parking lot at 1:39 a.m. by an officer. When the officer approached him and asked why he was urinating on the light pole, he responded “because I needed to go.”

When reached for comment, long-time Hogs fan Jeff Goldblum was heard to state very matter-of-factly...

Johnson, who was in Fayetteville at the time of the incident, twice answered “Riverside, Calif.” when asked by the arresting officers where he was coming from that evening.

Johnson was a three-star member of UA’s 2015 recruiting class. He was rated as the No. 3 kicker in the country, but is currently listed as a punter on the Razorbacks’ official roster.
