Authorities plan to issue an arrest warrant
for former Arkansas fullback Mark Pierce after he failed to appear
for a court hearing.
The 21-year-old Pierce faces charges of third-degree battery,
disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental operations. He was
supposed to appear in Fayetteville District Court on Wednesday.
Pierce was also arrested in Corsicana, Texas, last month --
suspected of driving while intoxicated. Texas officials say charges
have NOT been filed in that case yet, because Pierce hasn`t gone to
the district attorney there.
Pierce`s agent cut ties with the player recently, saying Pierce
created "problem after problem." Pierce is hoping to
be picked in the NFL draft.
