(CBS/AP) OMAHA, Neb. - Central Florida basketball player Marcus Jordan, the son of former NBA great Michael Jordan, was arrested in Omaha early Sunday following a disturbance outside a downtown hotel.

According to a news release, police responding to a call at the Embassy Suites found hotel security trying to subdue Marcus Jordan, who was having an argument with two women in the hotel driveway at 2:11 a.m.

The release said Jordan was "very animated, intoxicated and uncooperative," and it took multiple officers to control and handcuff him.

Michael Jordan's son arrested outside Neb. hotel

Jordan was booked at the Douglas County Department of Corrections for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing. He had been released by Sunday night.

Jordan, a rising senior, averaged 13.7 points for UCF last season.

CBSSports.com's Jeff Borzello notes that it's not the first time Jordan has made headlines this offeason. In May, the UCF guard "accidentally" propositioned a porn star via Twitter. Then, there were the reports in early June that questioned whether Jordan was returning to the Knights for his senior season.

Like father like son. Only the media has no incentive to cover up for him because he's not carring an entire sport on his back.

First of all, it can't be easy growing up as Michael Jordan's son. I'm sure there are tons of people trying to get a piece of you. Second, the guys 21 years old, got drunk and in a yelling match. Ok, not great behavior but who among us hasn't done something equally stupid when they were that age? If you're prefect, then good for you but most of us are just human. Hopefully, he can learn from this experience and realize this kind of action can escalate and turn into something really destructive to his life. As far as the porn star thing, who cares and why "throw that in" to kick this guy when he's down.

Being the son or daughter of celebrity doesn't mean what they do is always right, but it does mean anytime they make a mistake, it's going to be on the front page of the newspaper. Everyone wants to be rich or be a celebrity, but is there anyone out there who doesn't have a family, friend, or relative that they wouldn't want anyone to know about or some of stupid things they have done? Please, think about it. Jordan's son, like droves of other young dumb college age kids, got drunk and made a mistake. He didn't cannibalis anyone and store them in his refridgerator. He drank to much and became intoxicated and uncooperative. Grow up America.

I'm excited to see if we have a "streaker" during the summer Olympics in Britian. The Brits in the past just get the person off the field with a minor charge and have a laugh . In America, a "streaker" would be tased numerous times, possibly beaten if they resist, and then have a drove of media examine their lives for mental problems or terrorist links if the "streaker" complains about the military response to someone having some free spirited fun.

Jordan's son should have had better judgement, but he's a celebrity's kid who made a mistake that's now being plastered all over the media.

if the story is true on all account..then Jordan appears as a spoiled brat.. and if his dad's money can settle his son out of any problem? Is no different than any other wealthy professional Sport-Star-who as a parent- wouldn't do THE SAME for their OWN CHILD or family.

I'm just waiting for the haters to label Marcus Jordan a thug.. and if so-simply because?

(laughing)..

A thug? This story is being sent to www.thugreport.com right now. Your suggestion is a wish come true.

His dad has so much money he can settle him out of any problem.
