LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles police say former Southern California backup quarterback Mitch Mustain has been arrested on suspicion of selling prescription drugs.

Mustain was booked on $30,000 bail. No other details of the arrest have been released.

Mustain became a backup quarterback for the Trojans after transferring to USC from Arkansas in 2007. He started in last season's game against Notre Dame when Matt Barkley was injured.
