LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden was handcuffed by police and then released without charges after being involved in a "pretty rowdy scene" at a piano bar early Thursday.
Arkansas' All-American running back and at least four others were at the downtown bar when a disturbance broke out shortly after midnight, police Lt. Terry Hastings said. A bouncer was hit in the face as he was trying to get the group to leave, Hastings said. A police report did not specify who hit the bouncer.
"There was a whole bunch of people there," Hastings said. "They were inside and it spilled out into the street."
Outside, McFadden was handcuffed by a police officer "because he was agitated and was provoking aggressive behavior inciting the incident," according to the police report.
"We handcuffed him for a few minutes because he was rowdy," Hastings said.
McFadden, who was the only person handcuffed, was released after he calmed down. Hastings said it was routine procedure to handcuff a person to gain control of a situation

Reaction ...
Who gets into a fight at a piano bar? And what self-respecting future NFL player from the rough part of Little Rock goes to one? Was it the only place in the River Market that would serve drinks to the underage McFadden and his pals?
And what were they fighting about? Did McFadden want to hear Don McLean's "American Pie" and the dueling pianists instead played "Piano Man" by Billy Joel? Or maybe McFadden wanted some Elton John and the piano players went with "Brown eyed Girl" by Van Morrison?
