Tai Wynyard’s Alleged Bodyguard is No Longer Enrolled in Classes at UK

Aaron Steele, the man who was allegedly acting as a “bodyguard” for UK basketball player Tai Wynyard, is no longer enrolled in classes at the University of Kentucky.

Aaron Steele, 20, was scheduled to appear in court Thursday for arraignment on a misdemeanor assault charge after police said he struck a woman and threw her against a wall earlier this month. The hearing was delayed until March 23, and Steele’s attorney, Abe Mashni who appeared on his client’s behalf, was instructed to tell Steele to have no contact with the alleged victim.

Police observed “several bruises” on the victim’s arms and the victim complained of “pain over her whole body,” according to a police report

Steele remained a UK student after the school investigated whether he was armed at a party in January, Mashni told Courier Journal earlier this month.
