Oklahoma State defensive end Cole Walterscheid was arrested Sunday morning on charges of public intoxication after he was allegedly found asleep on top of a Jimmy John’s sign used on top of delivery cars.

The arrest came about 12 hours after Oklahoma State’s win over TCU in Fort Worth on Saturday. According to the O’Colly, the student newspaper at Oklahoma State, Walterscheid was found in a grassy area in Stillwater asleep (or possibly passed out) with the car marker about 2 a.m.

That’s not all. After the arresting officer asked Walterscheid to sit down, the defensive end allegedly tried to get in the passenger side of the police car. After finally sitting down, here’s what allegedly happened next.

When asked what he was doing, Walterscheid reportedly told the officer he was walking home and that he got the car topper “at work.” The officer asked Walterscheid whether he worked at Jimmy John’s, and Walterscheid replied, “No, that’s not from Jimmy John’s,” according to the affidavit.

Not long after that happened, Walterscheid was booked following admittance that he, indeed, had taken the sign from Jimmy John’s. The store is not pressing charges vs. Walterscheid, who has a Wednesday afternoon court appearance regarding the public intoxication charge.

The redshirt sophomore has 20 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss in 2016 and is a starter along OSU’s defensive line.
