MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie was arrested on suspicion of a pair of misdemeanors early Monday morning at a Minneapolis gas station.

McKinnie, 26, was held on suspicion of disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process, according to jail documents. He was freed on $50 bail at 6:38 a.m.

Also arrested was rookie guard Marcus Johnson, 23, on suspicion of the same charges. The Vikings drafted Johnson from Ole Miss at pick No. 49 this year.

A team spokesman reached early Monday said that he had not heard of the incident and had no comment on it. He did not immediately return a telephone call later Monday.

Minneapolis police spokesman Ron Reier said McKinnie and Johnson were arrested after officers were called to clear out a large crowd from Bobby & Steve's Auto World on Washington Avenue near downtown Minneapolis.

Messages left with McKinnie's agent, Ben Dogra, were not immediately returned Monday morning.

A witness told WCCO-AM that McKinnie was offended by a comment by a fellow player and a scuffle resulted.

Jail records indicate Johnson was released 2 minutes after McKinnie.

McKinnie and Johnson were scheduled to appear on court Monday in Minneapolis.

Rumor has it that they were doing a role play for next weeks game. Johnson had a Michael Vick jersey on and was dancing around the parking lot taunting McKinnie. Then they switched, then beat the crap out of each other. :violent1:

"The two were arguing with other men inside Bobby and Steve's Auto World, 1221 Washington Av. S."

1. I don't think they were fighting each other.

2. Don't you love how they give the address like the guy needs more traffic to his store.

3. Hey I say we hang out and get some autographs since we now know this is a Viking hangout.
