Illinois forward Leron Black was arrested in the overnight hours Thursday after he allegedly brandished a knife and threatened a bouncer with it outside an Urbana, Ill., night club.
University of Illinois police lieutenant Tom Geis told the News-Gazette that nightclub staff flagged down an officer on patrol near the night club after “Black became very belligerent and hostile toward the security guard" while the security guard was attempting to remove others from the club.
