UF's starting cornerback, Janoris Jenkins, was arrested Saturday morning after a fight that resulted in Jenkins being shot with a Taser gun.
At about 2 a.m., GPD officer Cory Martin saw Jenkins, 20, fighing with about five others at 100 S Main St.
According to the GPD arrest report, Martin walked up to the group and told them to stop fighting.
When nobody obeyed, Martin drew his Taser gun and asked them again to stop fighting.
Jenkins then punched someone in the head. Martin responded by Tasering Jenkins.
According to the report, after he was Tased, Jenkins got up and ran away despite commands from Martin to stop.
Jenkins was caught and arrested about 1 ½ blocks away, the report stated.
Jenkins told police that he was fighting because he thought the group was trying to steal his chain.
Steve Mcclain, UF assistant athletic director, said the coaching staff is aware of the incident and is awaiting the results of the investigation.
As a freshman, Jenkins started 12 games during the 2008 football season.
He was bonded out of jail on a $2,000 bail on Sunday.
