Former K-State guard Amaad Wainright pleads guilty to felony related to shooting

Former Kansas State basketball player Amaad Wainright pleaded guilty on Tuesday in Johnson County to felony obstructing apprehension and aiding a felon, following his role in a road-rage shooting last January.

Wainright did so after accepting a plea bargain, according to court documents. In exchange, a charge of fleeing from law enforcement was dropped.

The shooting occurred on Jan. 17 in Overland Park. Police said a passenger in Wainright’s car fired a handgun into the back seat of another car along Interstate 435 between State Line Road and Roe Avenue. No injuries were reported, but there was an estimated $1,191 in damage to the other car.
