Warning: Video contains coarse language

A video of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams' arrest emerged Thursday, via TMZ. Williams was arrested for public intoxication after he crashed his Lamborghini into a light pole - a crash he's blaming on a former college teammate.

When police questioned Williams about how his car crashed, the receiver blamed it on a "friend." When asked who the friend was, he answered, "Kendall Wright ... We went to Baylor together." Williams and Wright were teammates at Baylor from 2008-11.

Williams claimed that the Minnesota Vikings receiver called him and told him he crashed his Lamborghini, which contradicts the statement he released after he was arrested. In the statement, he said: "The driver in front of me slammed on his brakes and I turned to the left and hopped the curb to avoid hitting him. I got his insurance information and my neighbor picked me up when my car wouldn't drive."

Despite Williams' claims in the video, his attorney, Chip Lewis, said the Cowboys receiver was in the car alone when it crashed, according to Sports Day's Brandon George. Williams and Wright were together earlier in the evening but left separately, according to Lewis.

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman released a statement in support of Wright on Thursday.

"I have spoken directly with Kendall and his agent and both have assured me there is no truth to the matter," Spielman said, according to Ben Goessling of the Star-Tribune.
