Former Sooner and current Houston Texans WR Kenny Stills was arrested at a Louisville protest on Tuesday.
He and 86 other protestors face felony charges after marching to the residence of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
Stills faces a felony charge of intimidating a participant in the legal process. He also faces two misdemeanors—disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Lamont Washington stated that the protestors were arrested after refusing Cameron’s requests that they leave his home.
Stills was arrested and booked while wearing a T-shirt that reads, “Breonna Taylor’s killers are still police.”
