Minnesota Vikings player Oli Udoh was arrested at a club in downtown Miami on Saturday after security guards accused him of following a woman into the bathroom and refusing to leave. 

As a result, the offensive lineman, 25, is facing charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. 

Two off-duty officers responding to an unrelated incident outside the E11EVEN Miami nightclub noticed multiple security guards trying to restrain an “aggressive” Udoh, according to Miami police. 

According to the arrest report, the two officers identified themselves as Miami police and attempted to restrain the NFL player. However, he resisted the arrest. 

The player "continued actively and physically resisting officers and all verbal commands that were given to him," the police report claims. 

Police were finally able to place Udoh into custody and were told by the security guards that he was talking to a woman in line for the bathroom and followed her into the restroom. He later refused to leave the women’s restroom, prompting security to kick him out of the club.

Udoh was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. 

The NFL team is aware of his arrest. However, they are “gathering additional information at this time,” the Vikings said in a statement.
