PrintThe good.
In a statement distributed Tuesday by his attorney, Scott Roby, Jennings said, "I want to first apologize to the police and to the organizers of the event."Jennings said he was "provoked by another person that I was unfamiliar with." He did not identify the person or provide details of the provocation.
The police report said Jennings fought with officers who came to break up the resulting disturbance.
Jennings said in his statement that "at first I did not know the individuals who approached me were off-duty police officers working security."
The bad.
Police have added charges against two University of Louisville basketball players arrested following a fight at a southern Indiana restaurant.
Louisville senior guard Jerry Smith and sophomore forward Terrence Jennings were arrested early Sunday morning and charged with resisting arrest when off-duty police tried to break up a fight at an alumni homecoming party.
Jeffersonville Police Detective Todd Hollis says charges of battery and disorderly conduct against the two players were added on Sunday evening by the arresting officer.
The ugly.
Could've picked a better time, fellas.

Jefferson anything
This is why you stay away from Jeffersonville, Jeffersontown and Jefferson Street. Dont even listen to Jefferson Airplane or Starship.
Just practice and go to school.

Something tells me the cop read all the bad things written about him.
And decided to take it out on the boys. This will make it harder for them to get it off their records.
Sounds as if
T-Jenn was drunk (though he’s underage) and Jerry was just sticking up for him. I am proud that T-Jenn fought through the initial taser strike. He should be able to hold his own at the 4 or 5 without a problem.
Most likely Big East big man to tase T-Jenn during a game: Gus Gilchrist of South Florida. But I may be wrong.
according to the news
TJ was .022 BAC. FAR from intoxicated

he wasnt driving, or in a car either
so being underage means nothing except for the fact whomever was throwing the party or Kyes might be in trouble for serving a minor

Meh
These are pretty typical college-age type of charges. I’m not saying I condone it, but I am not exactly gonna get all upset about it.
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again. True story.
