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.
Here are details from the Courier-Journal:
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.
Steele allegedly accompanied Kentucky basketball player Tai Wynyard, who has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities. Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari declined to provide details of Wynyard’s suspension following a Wildcats’ game earlier this month. Wynyard was previously ruled out for the season due to a back injury.
