UI Football Player Arrested in Pullman on Suspicion of Fourth-Degree Assault

As reported in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News:

University of Idaho Wide Receiver Landon Weaver

University of Idaho wide receiver Landon Weaver was arrested Thursday, his 21st birthday, on suspicion of assault in the fourth degree at 1:09 a.m. in Stubblefields. Pullman police allege Weaver was told to leave Stubblefields by the staff, but he refused and allegedly fought with bouncers. Police reported to the scene and deployed a Taser device in an attempt to control Weaver.

“I could not be more disappointed and embarrassed that this took place last night,” Coach Robb Akey said through a statement from the Athletic Department’s media relations office. “Landon is being punished within the team no different than any other young man in our program.”

The arrest is the third brush with the law for a Vandal football player this month. On Oct. 4 freshman tight end Clayton Homme was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and also was cited for urinating in public.

Also, junior safety Shiloh Keo was cited for misdemeanor battery on Tuesday stemming from an alleged altercation late Saturday evening following the team’s win over the University of Hawaii.
