Davender Ticket Scam Headed To Grand Jury
KENTUCKY...
A second alleged ticket scam case against one of the University of Kentucky's all-time leading basketball scorers has been sent to the grand jury.
Ed Davender appeared in Fayette District Court on Thursday for a preliminary hearing on a charge of theft by deception. The charge alleges that he never produced NCAA men's Final Four tickets for which he took $4,000 from a Louisville man.
Davender's attorney told Judge Megan Lake Thornton that they are trying to work out a plea with the Fayette County attorney's office.
Davender was sentenced in August to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to a ticket scam that may have cost victims $100,000.
