Clemson University wide receiver Sammy Watkins was arrested by university police and booked into the City of Clemson's holding facility early Friday morning, according to Clemson City Police Chief Jimmy Dixon.

Chief Dixon would only confirm Clemson University Police booked Watkins into the city's holding facility.

Since Dixon's department didn't make the arrest, Dixon wouldn't confirm why Watkins was arrested and said any additional information would have to come from the Clemson University Police Department.

Calls to the university's police chief have not yet been returned.
