UCLA defensive back Ishmael Adams was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of robbery, after allegedly trying to steal a cell phone from an Uber driver.

Adams, a redshirt junior, was taken into custody at 3:36 a.m. Sunday. According to police logs, the crime occurred outside of UCLA Police headquarters on the south end of campus. Adams was arrested a block away shortly after the driver, who suffered minor injuries, reported the robbery.

Adams’ bail is set at $100,000.

“We are aware of the situation and continuing to gather information,” a UCLA spokesperson said in a statement. “As this is a pending legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”

Adams is set to make his first appearance in court Tuesday. The Daily Bruin first reported the news of his arrest.

The 5-foot-8, 180-pound defensive back has started 26 consecutive games at UCLA, and was the lone Bruin to make the All-Pac-12 first-team defense last season. Although he was prone to his share of missed coverages, Adams also had a nose for the highlight reel: In 2014, he took back both his interceptions for touchdowns, including a 20-yard return to open last year’s 28-20 win at Virginia on Aug. 30.

Adams was also a dangerous weapon on special teams, returning 26 kickoffs for 591 yards and a touchdown. That score, which came against Arizona State on Sept. 25, was UCLA’s first on a kickoff return since 2007.

Before arriving at UCLA, Adams played at Oaks Christian in Thousand Oaks, where he became a four-star recruit and one of the top 20 prospects in the state. He committed in December 2011, picking the Bruins over Cal, and was one of the first players to choose UCLA after head coach Jim Mora was hired.

Prior to his arrest, Adams was set to play mostly at nickelback this season, starting as the fifth defensive back on the field. He made the watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation’s top defensive back, along with teammate Fabian Moreau.
