Washington State’s senior football class added another arrest to their resume in February. Senior cornerback Treshon Broughton was arrested on February 18th after he attempted to buy a lighter with a fake twenty dollar bill according to The Spokesman-Review. Police responded to a call to find Broughton arguing with employees. Broughton resisted arrest, wrestled officer and eventually got tasered.
Fellow senior defensive back Shalom Luani was arrested in August for punching someone outside a Domino’s. Other Cougars were involved in a brawl at a house party. All offending players had to do extra conditioning as punishment. With the season over, Broughton has probably escaped that fate.
