Ishmael Adams, a member of UCLA's football team, was arrested Sunday for allegedly using force to steal an Uber driver's cellphone.

According to KTLA, the 21-year-old was charged with robbery and his bail was set at $100,000.

"We are aware of the situation and continuing to gather information," UCLA Associate Athletic Director Josh Rupprecht said in an emailed statement to the news station. "As this is a pending legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time."

Adams, a defensive back, is a redshirt junior who started in all 26 games of his first two seasons with the team, the news station notes. The 13th-ranked Bruins open the season this Saturday.
