Overview

  • Lindsey, 20, was booked at 1:13 a.m. Friday in Fayetteville and released at 8:28 a.m. after posting a $470 bond.
  • Police went to the YeeHawg Bar when staff reported a suspected fake ID, and a preliminary report says Lindsey admitted using a fake ID and drinking before he arrived.
  • The case is set in Fayetteville District Court, with Arkansas Online citing June 29 and other outlets citing June 1 based on local records.
  • Minnesota issued a brief statement saying it is aware of the arrest and will address the matter internally, and no public team discipline has been announced.
  • Lindsey started for the Gophers in 2025, throwing for 2,382 yards and 18 touchdowns, which raises potential roster and reputational stakes as the legal process plays out.
