UPDATE: Capt. Gary Sparger said he responded to a call from the management of Where Else? Bar shortly after 2 a.m. April 15 about a suspect having an interaction with a woman at the bar "who didn't want anything to do with him."

"The female complained to the management and the management asked him to leave and he didn't," Sparger said. "We went in to escort him out, he went out the back door and we confronted him."

Sparger said running back Ralph Bolden, who was identified as the suspect, was confronted and later arrested for public intoxication.

Associate Athletics Director Tom Schott said head football coach Danny Hope was aware of the situation and is handling it internally.

Purdue football Running back Ralph E. Bolden Jr., 22, was arrested April 15 on charges of public intoxication.

According to Lt. David Vanvactor of West Lafayette police, officers were responding to an unwanted guest in Where Else? Bar at 304 W. State Street.

The bar's management wanted him removed because of an incident that occurred inside the bar. As he was leaving, police made contact and Bolden was identified as the unwanted guest and arrested for public intoxication.

He was taken to Tippecanoe County Jail and released later that day, according to jail officials.
