Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball player Rudy Whitehorn has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors after allegedly kicking in a front door and bedroom door during an altercation at a woman’s residence
If she stays out of trouble and attends anger management classes, the charges for aggravated trespassing and vandalism can be expunged from her criminal record in a year.
‘As a result of a lot of hard work and investigation, we were able to enter into a favorable plea agreement,’ Whitehorn’s attorney, Gregory Isaacs, said. ‘Ms. Whitehorn is an excellent student-athlete and intends to focus her attention on athletics and academics at the University of Tennessee.’
Isaacs previously told reporters that eyewitnesses contradicted the claims against Whitehorn, who reportedly told officers she was only at the woman’s residence to retrieve a phone and passport that had been taken.
Whitehorn was arrested on August 8 by Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies.
She was suspended from the team indefinitely weeks after her arrest and her status moving forward remains unclear. Daily Mail has reached out to Tennessee spokespeople for comment.
