Three Arkansas basketball players, Anton Beard, Jacorey Williams and Dustin Thomas were suspended indefinitely on Wednesday following their arrest on forgery charges.
The arrest is being considered a Class-B felony charge in Arkansas.
“We have become aware of a pending legal issue involving three men’s basketball student-athletes,” says the university athletic department. “The student-athletes have been suspended indefinitely from the men’s basketball program. Our continued expectation is that our student-athletes conduct themselves in an appropriate manner at all times.”
