PCBPD officers were called to a large crowd fighting in La Velas parking lot Monday afternoon at the end of the Waka Flocka Flame concert. By the time police arrived, the fight had been broken up by club security, police reported.
Portions of the fight were caught on a video taken on a bystanders cellphone. As the fight ends, Prescott can be seen stumbling to his feet.
Police later approached Prescott, who declined to press charges and did not want medical treatment. Prescott was not charged in the incident, police reported.
Bill Martin, spokesman for Mississippi State, said he spoke with Prescott about the fight. Martin said Prescott suffered facial cuts after being hit with a bottle, but he did not have to go to the hospital. Martin said the fight also involved teammates Torrey Dale and Damian Williams.
