LINCOLN, Neb. -- Two Nebraska football players were arrested
early Sunday outside a downtown bar and spent the night in jail
before posting bond.
Linebacker Tony Tata was arrested for disturbing the peace
outside Mickey's Irish Pub at 12:30 a.m. after he was seen standing
arguing with the bar's owner, Police Capt. David Beggs said.
Running back Dahrran Diedrick was arrested at 12:48. He had been
kicked out of the same bar after a disturbance and was yelling at
the owner and police officers while being restrained, Beggs said.
After he refused to leave, Diedrick was arrested for failure to
disperse and disturbing the peace, Beggs said.
Diedrick is expected to be the Cornhuskers' starting I-back this
season. Tata is a reserve middle linebacker.
Nebraska sports information director Chris Anderson said the
school had no comment Sunday night.
The Cornhuskers open the season Saturday at home against Texas
Christian in the Pigskin Classic.
