Former UK Player Indicted
KENTUCKY....
Former University of Kentucky basketball star Ed Davender has been indicted by a Fayette County grand jury. Davender is accused of accepting a total of $4,000 from Richard Adams of Louisville from December through March for 14 NCAA men's Final Four tickets and not giving Adams the tickets. Davender was charged with theft by deception while on bond awaiting sentencing on numerous theft-related charges stemming from a UK basketball ticket scam and a drug charge. In that case, Davender accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to 20 charges, many of which were amended down. He was sentenced to eight years in prison on August 27th.
