UConn men’s basketball freshman James Bouknight has been charged by university police following “an on-campus vehicular incident” on Sep. 27, the school announced. Bouknight is facing charges of evading responsibility, interfering with a police office, traveling too fast for conditions and operating a motor vehicle without a license. He is set to appear in court on Oct. 29.
According to the school’s press release, Bouknight is cooperating with police throughout the legal process.
“Like many college freshmen away from home for the first time, James made some immature decisions that will affect not only himself, but his family and his teammates,” head coach Dan Hurley said.
