JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- Two Louisville basketball players have reached a tentative plea agreement with Indiana prosecutors following a run-in with off-duty police officers at a restaurant earlier this month.
Senior guard Jerry Smith and sophomore center Terrence Jennings would receive one year of probation, complete 40 hours of community service and pay a fine as part of a plea agreement.
The two were taken into custody on Oct. 11 and charged with resisting arrest after both players tussled with officers outside a southern Indiana restaurant. Jennings was struck twice with a Taser during the incident.
Jennings and Smith both offered unsolicited apologies to the officers according to court documents.
A Louisville spokesman said coach Rick Pitino had no comment. Pitino said last week the matter would be handled internally.
