Minnesota Gophers running back Shannon Brooks was arrested early Sunday in Minneapolis on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic assault, according to authorities. Brooks, a 22-year-old senior who has been sidelined all season with an injury, was booked into the Hennepin County jail about 2:40 a.m., according to the jail log. Police spokeswoman Sgt. Darcy Horn said the arrest occurred shortly after 1:30 a.m. in the 600 block of 15th Avenue SE., the same block near campus where Brooks lives. Horn described the suspected offense as a misdemeanor. Emergency dispatch audio revealed that Brooks assaulted a roommate, who was the person who called police. Head coach P.J. Fleck said during an interview late Sunday morning on WCCO Radio, AM 830, that “at this point, with the process unfolding, I’m not able to comment about any aspect of it whatsoever. I wish I could, but I’m not able to do that at this time.’’ Brooks, who has more than 2,500 all-purpose yards in his career, is working his way back from a torn ligament in his knee. He traveled to Columbus for Saturday’s game with Ohio State, participated in pregame warmups but did not play in the Gophers’ 30-14 defeat.
