Louisville men’s basketball director of operations Kahil Fennell was arrested Saturday night at the Breonna Taylor protests in the city.
According to reports, Fennell was charged with unlawful assembly.
Here are details from the Courier Journal:
Fennell’s citation said he was arrested at 10 p.m. in the 800 block of W. Jefferson Street, the site of some of the demonstrations. The arrest report said he was in violation of Louisville’s 9 p.m. curfew and was taken into custody after failing to comply with an order to leave.
Louisville coach Chris Mack published a statement early Sunday, after he’d spoken to Fennell but before his arrest was publicly reported, saying he hoped his program could “play a part in helping to heal an entire community we proudly represent.”
Mack said later Sunday that the staff would support Fennell in the aftermath of the arrest.

“Earlier this morning Kahil and I spoke and I was made aware of his booking,” Mack said in a statement. “I stand by my statement I made later in the morning and I stand by Kahil. When he feels the time is right he will comment.”
