Five current and former University of Kentucky football players filed a lawsuit Sept. 21 against Lexington Police Department (LPD) officer Cory Vinlove for false charges without probable cause leading to defamation.
According to a press release from Loevy & Loevy Attorneys at Law, the players attended a party at the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity where they claimed that fraternity members and guests at the party were saying racial slurs and assaulting them.
Former players Reuben Adams and Joel Williams and current players JuTahn McClain, Andru Phillips and Devito Tisdale were temporarily suspended and experienced damage to their educational and professional careers, according to their attorneys.
