Bodycam Video Shows Arrest of Four Texas Tech Football Players

555 On Sunday, Lubbock police released a shorter summary of the incident, which included multiple police officers and a K-9 unit. Four Texas Tech football players -- Desmon Smith-Williams, Furquan Shorts, Jett Duffey and Christian Taylor - were arrested during the incident. After police received a call close to 2 a.m. about a disturbance at Bash Riprock's, officers arrived and found a large group impeding traffic. One person was seen smashing a car's windshield, and was arrested by officers. During the arrest process, the crowd became hostile to the officers, police say. One Texas Tech football player, Desmon Smith Williams, suffered a dog bite during the incident. He was treated and released from University Medical Center before being booked into the Lubbock Country Detention Center. "[Christian] Taylor smashed a car windshield in front of one of the responding officers and Jett Duffey damaged property at ULOFTS in front of officers while we were trying to disperse the crowd," the police summary said. Here's a longer narrative from LPD's incident report, written by one of the responding officers. In it, he describes a chaotic scene involving around 150 people and how he and two other officers drew a baton and tasers as "a show of force and an escalation of force" in response to a crowd that "was not following our commands."
