Florida State Kicker Conor McAneney Arrested in Fort Lauderdale on Two Felony Counts

A police affidavit says an officer punched him twice during a trespassing call after he resisted detention.

Overview

  • McAneney was arrested around 2:30 a.m. in Fort Lauderdale and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence, both third-degree felonies, plus misdemeanor trespassing.
  • Florida State suspended McAneney indefinitely from all team activities following the arrest, according to an athletics department spokesperson.
  • The incident report describes bouncers removing McAneney from a beachside bar, a struggle in which he grabbed an officer’s arm and shirt, the officer nearly falling into traffic, and two punches used before he was taken into custody.
  • Police records note he was transported to Broward Health Medical Center as a precaution, and his booking photo shows a swollen, bloodied lip.
  • Custody and bond details varied across reports, with some listings showing a $2,750 bond and later reporting indicating he is no longer in custody, while earlier records showed pending counts and $0 bond entries.
