Suns guard Archie Goodwin was arrested outside an Arkansas skating rink earlier this month and charged with disorderly conduct and refusal to submit to arrest.

Goodwin, 19, was leaving the Arkansas Skatium, an ice and roller rink in his hometown of Little Rock, on May 4 when the incident occurred at approximately 11 p.m., according to Arkansas State Police public information officer Bill Sadler.

A state trooper witnessed Goodwin cursing and "exhibiting aggressive gestures" toward another person while exiting the building and the trooper reported telling Goodwin twice to stop cursing, Sadler said.

Goodwin was taken into custody, but the trooper said Goodwin tried to break away from the trooper's hold during the arrest, according to Sadler. Goodwin then was booked into a Sherwood, Ark., jail.

"Don't assume if you don't know the whole story," Goodwin tweeted Tuesday afternoon after an azcentral sports report. The tweet was deleted later in the afternoon.

Goodwin has a June 3 district court date regarding the charges.

Goodwin, the 29th draft pick in last year's draft, appeared in 52 games during his Suns rookie season. He averaged 3.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.3 minutes per game and scored a season-high 29 points in the regular season finale.
