The 5-star recruit — ranked No. 16 overall by 247Sports.com — was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and failure to obey, according to AL.com.
Tuscaloosa police arrived at an apartment complete after receiving reports of a loud party with underage drinking. A 22-year-old man was arrested for disorderly conduct, according to the report, but after police ordered the crowd to disperse, Brown remained and yelled threatening profanity at the police, Tuscaloosa PD public information officer Sgt. Brent Blankley told AL.com.
After Brown resisted arrest, police pepper sprayed him and handcuffed. Brown was bailed out of jail Sunday.
The 6-foot, 180-pound Brown played at Ozen High School in Beaumont, Texas.
