From OWH:
Kansas State tailback Thomas Clayton, the nation's leading rusher with a 164.5-yard average per game, couldn't elude the school's parking lot police over the weekend.
Clayton was arrested for aggravated battery after getting into his car and allegedly driving close to a parking services worker who called for a wheel lock to be placed on the car. The wheel lock was requested because of overdue parking tickets Clayton had accumulated.
K-State coach Bill Snyder on Monday said Clayton will be punished, but that the situation needs to "settle down a little bit."
"It's not quite the issue it was made out to be originally," Snyder said. "But Thomas did make an error in judgment and will suffer some severe consequences because of it.
"I will assure you he isn't a bad person. He's a good young guy, a polite and courteous young man, comes from a good family and didn't intentionally do anything other than make a tremendous error in judgment."
