"Kurtis Colamonico will tell you that I was never struck or punched by Ryan and it did not take place after an argument with me. He pushed me and I fell onto a couch. Ryan and I have no reason to be fighting and even if we did we probably still wouldn't. What really took place is I heard some bmxers standing near Sheckler saying that they would kick Seaholm's ass for him. I went to Austen and told him he needed to talk to Ryan before some stupid shit went down and when Austen stepped to Ryan he said I said bullshit and Ryan pushed me! After that all the bmxers that were messing with Ryan all night, decided that they wanted to fight too and so it continued to the hallway, elevator and street. Where Jereme attempted to keep the peace and got caught in the middle of it all. When the cops came he refused to leave the premises until all his friends were removed from the situation they took him to Jail. I was there still and he asked me to Call Pete. (The Redbull TM) I called Pete, picked him up at the Bohemian and drove him to the police station to attempt to get him out but he hadn't been processed yet. We went to Shecklers room so that I could settle things with Ryan, but Malcom asked me to leave and suggested for me to wait until the next day when things had died down a little. I still haven't talked to Ryan Face to Face but I've been told that he knows he went a little to far and everything is cool."

Orlando, Florida (October 16, 2008) - Jereme Rogers was arrested on assault and battery of a police officer Thursday night.

Allegedly Rodgers was confronted by Orlando Police after an altercation between Ryan Sheckler and Will Powers in which Sheckler struck Will in the face after an argument.

Rodgers was talking to the officer defending Sheckler when he used his finger to poke at the officer's chest. Seconds later he was wearing bracelets and was hauled off to jail.

Jereme spent the night in jail and was released on Friday. He soon left town but will have to return to answer the charges.

Rogers was in Orlando competing in the last stop of the AST tour. Before his arrest that day, Rodgers placed 12th and did not make the cut for the Skate Park Finals to be held on Sunday.
