As first reported by the Tulsa World, Jurick was taken into custody by campus police about 7 p.m., not long after attending a team scrimmage inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. He was released at 1:20 a.m. on personal recognizance.

Jurick is trying to return from an Achilles’ tendon tear that ended his 2011-12 season, his first with the Cowboys after transferring from Chattanooga State. A 6-11 senior center, he averaged 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 points before the injury.

The time since the injury hasn’t gone smoothly, with Saturday’s arrest following a June incident in which he was charged with driving with a suspended license, a misdemeanor. Jurick faces an Aug. 20 court date for that charge.
