ODDS AND ENDS

Jurisprude­nce: Police in Iowa City, Iowa have released body camera footage showing a University of Iowa football player being questioned by police who were searching for a robbery suspect.

The footage released Tuesday shows an encounter defensive end Faith Ekakitie described in a Facebook post earlier this week. He wrote that he was playing “Pokemon Go” in a public park when he was surrounded by police and searched at gunpoint.

Ekakitie said he feared for his life but understood why police did what they did.

■ Cleveland Browns defensive end Armonty Bryant pleaded guilty to a reduced charge stemming from a traffic stop on Christmas morning, but he isn’t out of hot water with the NFL. Bryant pleaded guilty to attempted drug possession, a first-degree misdemeano­r, in Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court, according to court records. The charge was amended after Bryant was indicted in February on two counts of felony drug possession and pleaded not guilty.

Bryant, 26, has already been suspended for the first four regular-season games of 2016 for violating the NFL’s policy on performanc­e-enhancing drugs and faces additional discipline.

■ A municipal court in Starkville, Miss., has cleared former Mississipp­i State quarterbac­k Dak Prescott on charges of speeding and drunk driving. He’s now with the Dallas Cowboys.

Horse racing: Preakness winner Exaggerato­r joined the field for Sunday’s $1 million Haskell Invitation­al, setting up another matchup against Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist at Monmouth Park in New Jersey.
