CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon State University offensive
lineman has been dismissed from the team after police say they
found him naked and intoxicated in a stranger's home and had to use
stun guns to take him into custody.
Corvallis police say they received the call about a naked
intruder early Sunday.
Lt. Tim Brewer says responding officers ordered 19-year-old
Tyler Patrick Thomas of Kalispell, Mont., to get on the ground. He
says Thomas instead dropped into a three-point stance like a
football player and lunged at the officers. At that point, Brewer
says, two officers fired their stun guns.
Brewer says Thomas "absolutely was intoxicated."
Thomas was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass, criminal
mischief and resisting arrest. A home phone listing for Thomas
couldn't be found.
Thomas redshirted during the 2009 season.
OSU athletics spokesman Steve Fenk says he was dismissed from
the team Monday.
