MANHATTAN, Kansas, July 8, 2008 (AP) - Kansas State junior running back Leon Patton was arrested for two outstanding warrants and driving with a suspended license.

Riley County police Lt. Kurt Moldrup says Patton was pulled over early Monday morning and issued a citation for driving with a suspended license.

During a routine background check, officers found Patton had two outstanding warrants: for a theft in 2007 in Pottawatomie County and a failure-to-appear charge on an unpaid parking ticket in Manhattan.

He was later released on bond.

Patton is the projected starter for the Wildcats this year. He ran for 390 yards and four touchdowns on 83 carries in 2007.
