OU's Farooq arrested after traffic stop​

13 hrs ago
OU star receiver Jalil Farooq was arrested Thursday night after a traffic stop, two days before the Sooners will play the Cowboys in the last Bedlam football game for the foreseeable future.

The Norman Police Department report says Farooq was pulled over "with an expired paper tag driving erratically." The report also says the officer discovered Farooq has four outstanding municipal warrants.

The junior wide receiver leads the Sooners in receiving with 449 yards on 26 catches in eight games. He also has two touchdown grabs.

A team spokesman emailed FOX23 “We are aware of the matter and it is being addressed internally" but would not say if Farooq is expected to play Saturday against Oklahoma State.

The Sooners and Cowboys will kick off in Stillwater at 2:30 pm Saturday.

Gotta take care of your legal stuff. Just cuz you’re the star doesn’t mean you’re invincible

Yep, hitting a woman and having an expired paper tag with some "municipal violations" are the same thing.....

I'd be curious what the municipal violations actually are. Some originally said parking tickets. If moving violations where he just ignored paying them or going to court that's a problem that should be addressed.
