COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A Texas A&M Football Player was arrested, Thursday, in connection with an alleged assault in March.
Derrick Tucker, listed on A&M's website as a Defensive Back, was arrested by Texas A&M University Police and charged with Assault, according to jail records.
According to police records, the victim claims he and Tucker got into a dispute over tacos that led to a physical altercation. After the fight was broken up and the victim was waiting for an Uber, police say, Tucker returned and allegedly hit the victim again.
