GEORGIA — Ole Miss defensive star Robert Nkemdiche reportedly fell from a fourth story window in Atlanta on Sunday, police said.
According to Fox5Atlanta, the footballer suffered “multiple injures” and cuts when he fell from the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
According to reports, Nkemdiche was arrested and charged after the incident when police discovered “7 rolled marijuana cigarettes.”
He has since posted bond and was released from jail.
Few details were released about his injuries.
From AJC.com: Authorities believe he broke out the double-paned window of his fourth-floor hotel room and somehow got onto a ledge, then fell. Several “associates” were at the scene, one report said, “however none of them claimed to know what transpired.” The associates were not named.
“Is it undetermined why or how Mr. Nkemdiche made it over the two ledges onto the ground,” police said. “Neither Mr. Nkemdiche nor his associates would provide this information.”
Nkemdiche, a defensive end, is expected to be first round NFL draft pick.
