Ohio State basketball player Seth Towns, a graduate transfer from Harvard, was detained by local police officers at a protest Friday in Columbus, Ohio, the school confirmed.
The protest came four days after George Floyd died while in police custody in Minneapolis.
"In a span of just 24 hours, I walked across a Harvard virtual graduation stage into the back of police van alongside other peaceful protestors-both of which I am equally proud of," Towns said Saturday afternoon as part of a series of tweets.
