Lawton Nalley, 37, was escorted out of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in handcuffs and arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct, according to 247Sports.com.
Multiple Twitter users claimed Nalley told Bielema, “If I had your record I’d be f–king fired. F–k you,” while the coach walked off the field, according to ArkansasMatters.com.
It was later revealed that Nalley is an associate professor in the university’s agriculture program.
