Milwaukee Bucks rookie Sterling Brown was arrested through the use of a stun gun outside a local drugstore early Friday morning, a police report obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Ashley Luthern indicates.

Police say the 22-year-old was apprehended at about 2 a.m. Friday and "an electronic control device was deployed" during the incident. The report says police were investigating a car parked across two handicapped spaces outside a Walgreens when the arrest was made.

The circumstances of the incident and the use of force are being reviewed by police. Bucks vice president of communications Jerry Baum told the Journal Sentinel that "we are aware of the situation with Sterling Brown and are looking into it."

Brown, a second-round pick out of SMU, scored a career-high 14 points in last Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
