Zach Price had a pretty bad Thursday.

The Missouri basketball player was reportedly arrested twice in one day. The first arrest was early in the morning for an altercation involving Price, his roommate, and a woman. Price was charged with third-degree assault and third-degree domestic assault. From the Columbia Tribune:

Price, 20, was involved in a dispute with a 23-year-old male roommate and a 23-year-old female and followed them from the area of Heather Lane and Ash Street to the area of Stadium Boulevard and blocked in their vehicle with his own vehicle, preventing them from leaving the area, according to the report.

The statement said that Price exited the vehicle and struck the male victim in the face with a closed fist. The other victim attempted to intervene and was pushed to the ground by Price.

One of the victims tried to spray Price with mace. Both victims were said to sustain minor injuries as a result of Price's actions.

The university announced in a statement that Price, a transfer from Louisville, had been suspended. Hours later, Price was arrested again, though the charges from the second arrest haven't been released.

Update: Via commenter TheCokeHorse, Steve Walentik of the Columbia Daily Tribune has charges for the second arrest. Was it a separate incident from Price's first, or were the assault charges from the morning changed?

Judging from the photo accompanying the Kansas City Star's article on the first arrest, it seems that Price at least changed clothes between mugshots.
