Kelley said witnesses on the scene identified the suspect as Saunders and that Saunders turned himself in to the police Friday evening.
Saunders, whose playing career ended after the 2008 season had been working with the team as a volunteer assistant this year. Missouri athletic department spokesman Chad Moller said the team would have no comment on the matter because Saunders was not officially a member of the team.
