Report: Alabama freshman CB Tony Brown arrested

Alabama freshman cornerback Tony Brown was arrested Saturday night on charges of failure to obey and resisting arrest, according to TideSports.com.

Bail was set at $1,500, per the report, for Brown, who enrolled at UA earlier this month. A highly touted recruit from Beaumont, Texas, Brown turned down offers from LSU, Texas A&M and Texas to join the Crimson Tide.

Brown is rated as one of the nation's top recruits and is also a track star. Al.com reported Brown missed Saturday's season-opening indoor track and field meet due to a shoulder injury.

Nick Saban might cut loose on occasion, but there's little doubt about what his reaction will be to the news about Brown. The star freshman could quickly learn a hard lesson about crossing his head coach.
