Kansas State junior guard Amaad Wainright was arrested Tuesday in Kansas City by U.S. Marshals and has been charged in Johnson County with two felonies: fleeing and eluding and obstruction.
Wainright was arrested by U.S. Marshals about 2 p.m. Tuesday in Kansas City, according to Craig Beam, chief deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service in Kansas. The charges stem from a Jan. 17 incident in Overland Park.
Wainright has been suspended indefinitely from the Wildcats basketball team.
“We are aware of Amaad’s situation, and due to the seriousness of the charges he has been indefinitely suspended from our men’s basketball team per athletic department policy," K-State athletic director Gene Taylor said in a statement.
