A former Vanderbilt football player has been arrested for allegedly biting one bouncer's chest and the back of another at a Nashville bar.

BJ Anderson, a cornerback who recently declared for the NFL draft, was charged with disorderly conduct and assault after the alleged incident, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Tennessean.

Security allegedly denied Anderson entry when he was found with a Gatorade bottle filled with alcohol.

After he tried to enter a second time, this time without the bottle, he was turned away and a scuffle ensued, according to The Tennessean.

When Anderson pushed one guard, another quickly restrained him but was bitten on the 'right breast'. Anderson also bit the “right glute” of another guard.

According to the statement, police observed the bite marks.

After his birthday on Thursday, Anderson was booked into jail at 3:32 a.m. Friday and released at 7:40 a.m.

After six seasons with the Commodores, Anderson was cleared to play for Vanderbilt for a seventh season after an injury extended his eligibility. Anderson played in just three games last season and recorded eight total tackles and three pass breakups.

The Commodores had a terrible season, finishing with a 2-10 record.

During his collegiate career, Anderson played in 34 games and recorded 74 tackles.

Anderson is the second Vanderbilt athlete arrested in the past month. On November 26, basketball player Lee Dort was arrested and charged with aggravated assault for allegedly strangling his ex-girlfriend in her dorm room.

Dort was released on $10,000 bail about ten hours after his arrest.
