Legendary K-State football player and College Football Hall of Fame selection Terence Newman was arrested on Saturday night after an altercation at O’Malley’s Alley in Aggieville.

Newman, 48, of Woodland Hills, California, was arrested by officers at 11:42 p.m. at the Riley County Police Department substation in Aggieville. He was charged with disorderly conduct by brawling or fighting and criminal trespass. Newman was released from custody on a $500 bond.

RCPD representatives said Newman’s charges were prompted by an altercation he had with O’Malley’s staff members inside the bar and restaurant.

Newman was a cornerback and returner for retired K-State coach Bill Snyder from 1999 to 2002.

A two-time All-Big 12 selection, Newman earned All-America honors as a cornerback and returner while also earning 1st-team and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2002, as well as the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation’s top defensive back.

Newman was also a two-time All-America sprinter in track and field, winning two Big 12 Championships with a school record 6.62 in the indoor 60 meters and 10.20 in the outdoor 100 meters. His name is among those on K-State’s Ring of Honor.

In 2003, Newman was the fifth pick overall in the NFL draft. He was a cornerback for 15 seasons for the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Minnesota Vikings. He has been an asistant for the Vikings since 2018.

Earlier this year, the National Football Foundation selected Newman for induction in the College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026. The ceremony is in December in Las Vegas. K-State honored Newman for his selection at Saturday’s home football game.
