He was calm when first arrested but became enraged sitting in his holding cell. He reportedly “didn’t like a sargeant standing nearby”. He was released from the hospital after being evaluated for a concussion and receiving stitches. <ref>Lions LB Trevor Bates Arrested https://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/01/lions-lb-trevor-bates-arrested<ref>
