The news regarding the Florida State University kicker is developing rapidly. Sophomore kicker Conor McAneney was arrested early Wednesday morning, March 18, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale during his spring break.
According to police and jail records, the situation escalated from a trespassing incident at Rock Bar on Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard around 2:30 a.m.
Key Details of the Incident:
- Charges: McAneney is facing two third-degree felony charges—battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence—along with a misdemeanor charge for trespassing.
- The Confrontation: Arrest affidavits state that McAneney was being removed by security but refused to leave. When a police officer intervened, McAneney reportedly grabbed the officer’s arm and shirt, nearly pulling him into oncoming traffic. The officer then struck McAneney twice in the face to subdue him.
- Current Status: He was booked into the Broward County Jail with a bond set at $2,750. His mugshot, which has been circulating online, shows visible facial injuries, including a swollen and bloody lip.
- Team Impact: FSU Athletics has already responded, stating that McAneney is suspended indefinitely from all team activities.
McAneney, originally from Northern Ireland, joined the Seminoles this winter as a transfer from Quincy University. He was expected to compete for the starting kicker position this spring following the departure of last year’s starter, Jake Weinberg.
