Former Detroit Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew was arrested early Sunday morning in Oklahoma City and charged with disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

Pettigrew was outside the Pretty Please Social Room around 2 a.m. While the Oklahoma City Police Department was responding to another call at the club, officers observed Pettigrew in an argument with two friends who were trying to get Pettigrew to leave the area, according to the police report read to ESPN by Oklahoma City police officer Travis Vernier.

The police report states that Pettigrew shoved each of his companions "several times," and after Pettigrew pushed his companions for a third time, officers intervened. The officers asked him to leave the area, but the report states he was "verbally defiant."

The report says that officers told Pettigrew to leave the area "at least 25 times" and that he "pushed his friends several times while threatening to assault them." Officers unholstered a Taser, but it was not used.

At this point, the police officers arrested Pettigrew for disorderly conduct and Pettigrew was compliant, according to the report. The report says Pettigrew was "heavily intoxicated evidenced by his slurred speech and odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath and person."

Pettigrew was booked in the Oklahoma County Jail and released later on his own recognizance. No court date had been set as of Monday morning. A message left with Pettigrew's agent was not immediately returned Monday morning.

Pettigrew, who will turn 32 on Feb. 23, was drafted in the first round in 2009 and spent his entire NFL career with Detroit. The Lions released him in December after he spent the 2016 season on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from a torn ACL.

He played in 93 games for Detroit, starting 85, and had 301 catches for 2,965 yards and 17 touchdowns.
