The status of two Murray State basketball players remains unclear after they were arrested Saturday afternoon on multiple charges, including drug-related offenses.
Junior forward Kelvin Brown and junior guard Adam Chiles were arrested after Murray Police Department officers responded to their North 16th Street residence following a 911 hang-up call, according to their arrest citations.
Brown, 21, who spent his sophomore year at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College, was arrested at 2:48 p.m. Saturday after he was found in a closet at his residence, according to a police citation. He had an active warrant for theft by unlawful taking of less than $300 stemming from not paying for gas recently, according to MPD Detective Capt. Eddie Rollins.
Police also charged Brown with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the citation. The drugs and paraphernalia were discovered at the residence when officers executed a search warrant after initially responding to the 911 hang-up call, according to the citation.
When police officers arrived at the scene, Chiles, 21, allegedly said he and a female were the only people at the residence, according to the citation. He was charged with second-degree hindering prosecution and apprehension when he was arrested at 3:05 p.m. Saturday.
Chiles, who played basketball at the University of Kentucky and Vincennes University before transferring to Murray State, also faces possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia charges.
