LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A pair of basketball players from the University of Louisville have been released from jail after being arrested on misdemeanor charges in southern Indiana.
University of Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein confirmed that sophomore forward Terrence Jennings and senior guard Jerry Smith were arrested Saturday night in Jeffersonville, Ind. Both were charged with misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and released from the Clark County jail on Sunday morning.
Klein said basketball coach Rick Pitino is aware of the arrests and the issue will be handled inside the program.
Details of the arrests were not immediately available Sunday afternoon. A message left for a jail spokesman was not immediately returned Sunday.
The Courier-Journal reported that Jennings and Smith attended a Louisville alumni homecoming party held at Kye's in Jeffersonville, just across the Ohio River from Louisville.
Smith, a 6-foot-2 senior from Wauwatosa, Wis., was named a co-captain for the upcoming season. He started 35 games last season and averaged 7.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.
Jennings, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Sacramento, Calif., averaged 4.2 points and 2.9 rebounds last season. He is expected to earn a starting spot in the Cardinals lineup this season.
