Former UK Player Faces New Charge
KENTUCKY....
In May, former University of Kentucky basketball star 44 year old Ed Davender of Georgetown pleaded guilty to 19 counts of theft by deception after investigators say he sold nonexistent tickets to 19 people. Friday, his sentencing was was postponed until August 27th, pending new charges accusing him of taking money for tickets he didn't have. Davender is accused of offering Richard Adams of Louisville tickets to the 2010 men's Final Four in Indianapolis in early April. An arrest warrant was filed this week in Fayette District Court charging Davender with theft by deception under $10,000, a felony. The arrest warrant says Adams wired a total of $4,000 to Davender from December 20th through March 15th in exchange for 14 tickets to the tournament, but Davender never produced the tickets and has not returned the money. At the time he allegedly offered Adams the tickets, Davender was free on bond for an earlier charge. Davender says the new charge is a misunderstanding, and he definitely wouldn't do the same thing again. In May, Davender pleaded guilty to 19 counts of theft by deception after investigators say he sold nonexistent tickets to 19 people.
