WACO, Texas - Former Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman was arrested Wednesday afternoon in connection to a sexual assault investigation.
A search warrant was executed at Oakman's apartment on April 3 after a Baylor student told police that Oakman sexually assaulted her when the two went to his apartment after leaving Scruffy Murphy's, a Waco bar.
Sgt. Patrick Swanton with Waco PD said in a press release that Oakman, 24, met with detectives at the Waco police department on Wednesday, April 13, in reference to the investigation. He was served with two search warrants; one for his DNA and another for his cellphone.
Immediately following the execution of those search warrants, Oakman was served with a warrant for his arrest for sexual assault. He was taken into custody and transported to the McLennan County Jail without incident.
Oakman is Baylor's career sack leader and was considered a potential mid-to-late-round prospect in April's NFL draft.
