Former UK basketball player arrested
 
What's going on: Birth dates OK for signature sheets but experience requirement is still a problem for some students

Three years ago former UK basketball player Myron Anthony probably imagined he would join Saul Smith in Rupp Arena tonight during Senior Night.
 
But things haven't turned out so well.
 
While Smith is putting on the traditional UK blue and white uniform, Anthony has just finished changing out of an orange jumpsuit.
 
UK Police arrested Anthony Sunday, for assault in the fourth degree and burglary. He was released on $3,758 bail Tuesday afternoon.
 
Anthony's girlfriend, Antonya Evans, reported to UK police that Anthony assaulted her and broke in to her Greg Page apartment.
 
While in jail for burglary, Anthony was issued a warrant for the assault charge, according to Lloyd Axelrod, director of UK public relations.
 
Anthony pleaded not guilty to second-degree burglary in district court Monday.
 
Evans reported that Anthony slapped her with his hand and then threw a cell phone at her head at an off campus address, according to the
 
Lexington-Fayette police
 
report.
 
Anthony was angered at his girlfriend over destruction of his property. He allegedly returned to Greg Page Apartments, where Evans lives and forced entry into the apartment, according to the UK police report.
 
In the report Anthony told police he was the one hit by the cell phone, not Evans.
 
Evans and Anthony "got into it" on Thursday and he broke into the apartment , said David Hickmen, Evans' cousin.
 

 
Anthony transferred to Texas Christian University in 1998 after his dismissal from UK for an unspecified violation of team rules.
 
Anthony pleaded guilty in 1998 to leaving the scene of an accident after borrowing former UK basketball player Wayne Turner's car.
 
Anthony would have graduated with Saul Smith.
