Mickey Joseph, who served as interim head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers this season, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of strangulation and third degree domestic assault, the Lincoln Police Department said.

The Lincoln Police Department said officers were dispatched to a residence on a domestic disturbance call. After an investigation, officers arrested Joseph, 54, at a separate location and booked him into the Lancaster County Jail.

Joseph was placed on administrative leave by Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts on Wednesday.

Joseph was named interim coach after the Cornhuskers fired Scott Frost on Sept. 11.
