According to a report from Fox 11, UCLA backup quarterback was arrested on Friday.
The report says:
A source tells FOX 11 that Clarkson may have been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, and that the incident may have been possible domestic violence.
According to the LA County Sheriff’s Department website, Clarkson was arrested by officers from LAPD’s Southwest Division at noon on Friday and he was booked later that afternoon. He was released Friday evening on $30,000 bail.
Ben Bolch of the LA Times has tweeted a statement from UCLA:
We are aware of the charges against Pierce Clarkson. He has been indefinitely suspended from all team activity pending the outcome of the legal process.
This situation will be evaluated by the UCLA Office of Student Conduct and any further action taken will be in accordance with that evaluation and University policy.
He is due to appear in court on October 3 on the charge(s).
Clarkson transferred to UCLA from Ole Miss earlier this year.

Could UCLA Football fall any further?
I thought we valued high character kids, and evaluated recruits before signing them.
I certainly hope the person who was assaulted is going to be OK. 🙏💔
There is no DRE on or off the field.
UCLA Football is quickly sinking to new lows. Just a terrible reality, and seems like it's out of control
Truly tragic.🥲
I know nothing about this, but based on the comments, i guess the kid is guilty until proven innocent.
