Ole Miss safety Trae Elston and wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow were reportedly arrested early Thursday morning and charged with disorderly conduct, according to the Lafayette County Detention Center's booking log, obtained by Hugh Kellenberger of The Clarion-Ledger.  

Elston was also charged with resisting arrest. 

Oxford Police Department Maj. Jeff McCutchen told The Associated Press officers responded to a "large disturbance" in downtown Oxford just before midnight and several people were arrested along with Elston and Stringfellow. McCutchen said the department had viewed a video of the incident and no further charges are expected at this time.

"We are gathering facts on the matter," said coach Hugh Freeze in a statement.

Elston is a senior and a three-year starter who registered 59 tackles this season. 

Stringfellow came to the Rebels after an incident at Washington when he and quarterback Cyler Miles were investigated by Seattle police after two men punched a Seahawks fan. No arrests were made, but Washington suspended both players afterwards.
