Former Wildcat Goes To Prison
KENTUCKY....
Former University of Kentucky basketball star 44 year old Ed Davender of Georgetown has been sentenced to eight years in prison on numerous charges related to a UK basketball ticket scam in which victims lost tens of thousands of dollars. Davender was indicted in Fayette County in November on 23 theft by deception counts in connection with the ticket scam and two drug-related charges, but he pleaded guilty to 20 charges, many of which were amended down, while five counts were dropped, including one of the drug-related charges. He will be eligible for parole after serving 20 percent of his sentence. He was taken into custody Friday afternoon.
