Texas Tech football player was arrested Sunday morning after reportedly ignoring commands of police officers responding to reports that he and another person were threatening to shoot employees of a restaurant in South Lubbock, according to a Lubbock police report.

Brandon Bouyer-Randle was booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center Sunday morning on a state-jail felony count of evading police in a watercraft or motor vehicle.

He was released about 1:50 a.m. Monday. Court records show his case was closed but that he was released pending the possible filing of charges in the future.

According to a police report, an officer responded to the I-Hop in the 3900 block of South Loop 289 after receiving reports about two people in a black Cadillac circling the restaurant's parking lot and threatening to shoot two restaurant employees.

Bouyer-Randle is an outside linebacker who came to Tech as a graduate transfer this past off-season from Michigan State. He has 32 tackles, which is seventh on the team, four pass breakups, which is tied for second, and one sack. He has played in all seven games, starting three. 

He played extensively in the Red Raiders' 34-18 loss against TCU on Saturday afternoon in Fort Worth.

On Sunday, the Tech athletics department said it was gathering facts pertaining to the incident and would handle any discipline in accordance with its student-athlete code of conduct.
