It looks like several Kentucky Football players were allegedly in a bar room fight with an Eastern Kentucky football player in Richmond over the weekend.
Jeff Scurry, Colton’s dad, was reluctant to discuss the incident that caused his son’s injuries, but two EKU students who described the scene at Jerzee’s in Richmond said Scurry was the aggressor in a fight that they allege involved three University of Kentucky football players: Drew Barker, Dorian Baker and Tymere Dubose.
“We were in the back part of Jerzee’s,” said Will Ruholt, a friend of Barker’s from Conner High School. “A couple people started talking (abusively) and things started to get a little heated. Colton Scurry is the one who started the entire fight. He pushed me. Multiple people can verify that.”
Zach Littleton, an EKU sophomore who said he accompanied the UK players, also described Scurry as the instigator.
“I was actually pretty sober and I was watching everything that was going down,” Littleton said. “Basically what happened was a bunch of UK football players come in and all you hear is, ‘This is my neighborhood. What are you doing here?’
“I know if there’s any video, you’ll see I’m trying to defuse the situation. I was getting between them and saying, ‘Calm down. Calm down.’ (But) As soon as (Scurry) pushed Will, it was just a big mess. From what I saw, it wasn’t just Colton. I saw a bunch of people swinging for no reason.”

Sounds like something that definitely could have been avoided.
Hope everything gets worked out and everyone learns something from this situation.
