Noil was subsequently suspended by the team following the news.
"We are aware of the situation with football player Speedy Noil and he was suspended prior to practice today per athletics department policy," the Aggies said in a statement, according to Ben Baby of the Dallas Morning News.
Police responding to a noise complaint on Friday evening were lead to Noil's apartment and noticed an odor of marijuana coming from his residence. When Noil became hostile, more police officers were called to the apartment.
According to CSPD probable cause, Speedy Noil became "verbally defensive and overall uncooperative" so other officers called to scene.
