TEMPE, Ariz. -- Philadelphia Eagles safety Keelan Johnson, a former player at Arizona State, is facing charges after authorities say he pushed a police officer investigating a bar brawl.
Officials said Johnson, a first-year safety, was arrested early Saturday following a confrontation with officers outside a bar in Tempe. He has been charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
A probable cause statement says Johnson "violently pushed" an officer in the chest, causing him to strike his head against a tree. Police say Johnson appeared drunk and refused officers' orders.
