The University of Chicago has confirmed that 26-year-old Josh Marks was arrested early Monday morning by the University of Chicago Police Department after allegedly attacking and attempting to disarm a UCPD officer. Marks has been charged by the state’s attorney’s office with aggravated battery to a police officer.

TMZ — which first reported the news — tells a slightly more colorful version of the story. The site writes that Marks, the second-place winner on the third season of Fox’s reality competition MasterChef, lunged at a police officer and tried to grab his gun. Marks then ran into a residential backyard, where it took five policemen to subdue the 7’2″ reality star.

When being treated for his injuries at a hospital, Marks allegedly blamed his outburst on celebrity chef (and MasterChef co-host) Gordon Ramsay — calling the Brit “an ‘asshole’ who possessed his body and then transformed him into God,” according to TMZ. Reportedly, authorities found no evidence of drug use.
