The News Sentinel has redacted from the arrest reports the Social Security and personal phone numbers of three Tennessee football players charged in the early Sunday morning fighting incident.

Three Tennessee football players received varying suspensions Monday for their alleged roles in an altercation at a Knoxville bar after the Vols' loss to LSU.

Starting tailback Arian Foster will be suspended for the first half of Saturday's Arkansas game; reserve fullback David Holbert for the whole game; and reserve safety Antonio Wardlow will be suspended for the Arkansas and Vanderbilt games, University of Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer announced.

The three were involved in a disturbance early Sunday at GoodFellas Sports Bar & Grill at 2240 Keith Ave., according to a report made by Knoxville Police Department officers.

"The three young men who were arrested let their teammates, coaches, administration and great fans down," Fulmer said in a statement released Monday evening. "Their behavior is an example we certainly remind them about, when immature male ego mixes with alcohol and stupidity. The three men did not leave when they should have, when asked either by teammates or officers."

Foster, who has started five games and is UT's second leading rusher, received the shortest suspension because Fulmer said the sophomore was acting as a peacemaker.

"Foster was trying to stop a silly and senseless argument between teammates, typical of being in the wrong place at the wrong time," Fulmer said in the statement. "Holbert and Wardlow could have, and should have, avoided the confrontation."

That account differs from that of KPD spokesman Darrell DeBusk, who said when police arrived at GoodFella's they observed Foster inside the bar trying to engage another man who is not a teammate in a fight.

A Knox County Sheriff's Office arrest report released Monday morning stated that Foster, 20, was pushing, yelling and cursing another male. Foster also had "an odor of alcohol on his breath," according to the report.

Foster told police he had been drinking before entering the bar.

GoodFellas is now off limits for players, but Fulmer said before practice Monday that he didn't think the venue played a part in the incident.

"I don't think it's the location either, necessarily," he said. "You've got a college campus, a lot of places to go."

Foster, Holbert and Wardlow were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and underage consumption after police responded to a report of a fight involving 70 people around 3 a.m. Sunday. Wardlow also was charged with public intoxication.

Knoxville attorney Donald A. Bosch was contacted Sunday and assisted in getting the players released on bond.

Arraignment has been set for Nov. 14 in Knox County General Sessions Court.

About 10 minutes after police arrested Foster, they went outside the bar and found Holbert and Wardlow fighting each other in the parking lot, according to DeBusk.

Police said Holbert, 20, was shoving, yelling and throwing punches. Holbert told police he had been drinking inside GoodFellas, according to records, and had "an odor of alcoholic beverage about his breath."

According to the report, Wardlow, 20, "squared off with another male and began to throw punches." That male was Holbert, according to police.

The report stated that Wardlow "had a strong smell of alcohol about his breath and person" and "was unsteady on his feet with slurred speech."

Asked what started the brawl, DeBusk said Monday "at this point we would not be at liberty to say what they were fighting about."

Other football players were present at the bar, according to DeBusk, but they dispersed when asked. Fulmer interviewed several of those players in order to determine punishment, but said he did not know exactly how many players were at the bar.

No one else was arrested or cited, DeBusk said. Foster, Holbert and Wardlow were charged because they continued fighting and were observed by police officers.

GoodFellas has a seating capacity of 220. Police said the establishment had had only one beer license violation in the past 18 months, and it has been corrected.

All three players were booked into the Knox County Detention Center. They were released later on $500 bond on each of the charges.

Foster has rushed for 262 yards.

Holbert has played in all nine of Tennessee's games.

Wardlow has also played in nine games, including a start against South Carolina in place of Demetrice Morley, who was suspended for the first half for academics.

All three played in a 28-24 loss to LSU on Saturday.

Foster, the Vols' second leading rusher behind redshirt freshman LaMarcus Coker, led Tennessee with 44 yards on 10 carries.

The three arrests make seven UT players who have been arrested since May.
