Chris Singletary also faces resisting charge
Published on Wednesday, Sep 03, 2008
Beacon Journal staff report
Kent State basketball player Chris Singletary was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with violating a noise ordinance after receiving a warning at his Olympus Drive apartment, according to a Kent police report.
Singletary, 20, became uncooperative with police offers on their second visit to the residence and was arrested, the report said.
The junior guard also was charged with resisting arrest, police said. He sustained wrist and shoulder injuries, according to the report.
''Coach Ford and I are gathering the facts from those involved and the Kent city police,'' Kent State Director of Athletics Laing Kennedy said. ''Once we determine the facts, we will take appropriate action.''
''In the meantime, we will continue to support Chris and value him as a member of the program.''
This is the fourth time in less than a year the Chicago native has had a run-in with a local law enforcement agency, according to Portage County court records.
Singletary was suspended for one game last season following an OVI arrest Jan. 26.
On March 10, he was charged with nuisance party regulations. He also was arrested on April 7 on charges of driving under DUI suspension.
Singletary averaged 10.3 points and 3.2 rebounds a game last season. He was released on bond early Sunday morning and is scheduled to appear in court at 8:15 a.m. Thursday.

Have you noticed no one on any of the Akron teams has a record like this guy? Hmm, interesting.
