Another Louisville Black-eye: Preston Knowles Accused of Assault

Preston Knowles knows hair brushes and punches...

In a story first reported by WLKY, Louisville guard Preston Knowles was accused of assaulting his girlfriends stepfather today. A verbal argument between Knowles and his girlfriend  (apparently about a hairbrush) escalated. The step-father, stepped in, and push came to punches.

WLKY may have stretched it when they say "Louisville Star" "the victim's step father" as there is no mention that he did anything to her - but whatever. I'm just glad it's over a hairbrush and not 'insurance.'

The step-father was referred to the county attorney for a 'misdemeanor assault.' Knowles is claiming self-defense - that he was called ugly pushed first.

But my favorite part of the whole story, outside of this being a UL player/police run-in for the second straight year (you remember Terrence "Don't taze me bro" Jennings and Jerry Smith last year), is that the police are quoted as saying "We don't make an arrest, no police officer does." ---Someone in the Shephardsville PD needs to call in David Caruso, as a CSI: Miami he'd make an arrest or two and wear sunglasses while doing it!

BTW: No charges have been filed at this time.
