East St. Louis basketball star and incoming Missouri freshman forward Jeremiah Tilmon found himself in a bit of trouble with the law and Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin before the five-star signee could make his official Mizzou debut.
MU Police arrested Tilmon, 18, early Friday morning on a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol, MUPD spokesman Maj. Brian Weimer confirmed to the Post-Dispatch on Monday.
The Columbia Daily Tribune first reported the news of the arrest.
Weimer said Tilmon, who was driving alone on Tiger Avenue near Hospital Drive, was stopped for a lane violation shortly after 1:40 a.
