Iowa State redshirt junior cornerback Brian Peavy was arrested on the evening of Nov. 23, Thanksgiving Day, according to a tweet from Des Moines Register’s reporter Tommy Birch and a screenshot put on Cyclone Fanatics’ website. 

The charges of his arrest consist of criminal mischief fourth degree and interference with official acts—all other offenses, according to the screenshot from Cyclone Fanatics Forums with CIP2C.com in the search bar. CIP2C is a website that has inmate inquiries for Story County Jail. 

Since his arrest, his listing has been taken off the CIP2C website and is no longer shown.

A criminal mischief fourth degree is described as “the cost of replacing, repairing, or restoring the property that is damaged, defaced, altered, or destroyed exceeds $200, but does not exceed $500,” according to section six of Chapter 716 of the Iowa Legislative. It also says in section six that “criminal mischief in the fourth degree is a serious misdemeanor.”

Since it’s considered a serious misdemeanor, the sentence is as follows, “for a serious misdemeanor, there shall be a fine of at least $315, but not to exceed $1,875. In addition, the court may also order imprisonment not to exceed one year,” according to section one of Chapter 903 of the Iowa Legislative.

His status for the upcoming football game at Kansas State this Saturday is still unknown. 

Peavy is a starting cornerback for Iowa State. He has 75 total tackles, third on the team, along with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries on the season. 

If Peavy doesn’t play on Saturday, redshirt junior De’Monte Ruth would be next, according to the newest Iowa State depth chart. 

The story will be updated once there’s more information to report.
