FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas forward Jacorey Williams was dismissed from the men’s basketball team Wednesday, coach Mike Anderson said.
Williams, a senior, was allegedly involved in two separate assaults near the University of Arkansas campus this summer and was also arrested for allegedly using counterfeit money at stores across Fayetteville in between the two incidents.
“Members of our program carry a responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the expectations we have established for our student-athletes both on and off the court,” Anderson said in a statement.
The assaults appear to have been the root cause of the dismissal.
