LEXINGTON, Ky. — A grand jury will consider charges against six Kentucky football players resulting from a March altercation at an off-campus party, including one player accused of pointing a gun.
Offensive lineman R.J. Adams, running back JuTahn McClain, defensive back Andru Phillips, wide receiver Earnest Sanders IV, safety Vito Tisdale and defensive back Joel Williams each have been charged with first-degree burglary.
Tisdale also was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment for "being identified as the suspect pointing a handgun at one of the victims," according to a Lexington Police Department news release.
The six players waived their preliminary hearings scheduled in Fayette District Court Wednesday morning as prosecutors planned to take the case to a grand jury, where the proceedings are secret.
