Wrestler Braeden Davis faces serious charges following an altercation at the State College in Borough, Pennsylvania. The 20-year-old lightweight wrestler, who had recently made his debut for the Penn State Nittany Lions at the 2025 NCAA Championships, faces charges of evading the police.
As reported by Onward State, the freshman wrestler faces charges of resisting arrest, evading arrest, criminal trespass, consumption of liquor, and public drunkenness. According the police, Davis' BAC, i.e. blood alcohol content was found at 0.225% at the time of his arrest, which is higher than usual.
According to several media reports, Davis was accused of an altercation with the police around a week after the NCAA Championships. Davis and his friend were requested to leave the Tau Kappa Epsilon House by the local security on March 29. When Davis refused to do so, the private security called for police assistance. One of the officers noticed that the wrestler was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
