Barta: Tucker suspended indefinitely

Posted on 20 December 2009

Sophomore guard Anthony Tucker was arrested for public intoxication Sunday morning. Here’s athletics director Gary Barta’s statement on the incident:

“Anthony Tucker was arrested for public intoxication last night. I have communicated with men’s basketball coach Todd Lickliter.  At this point, I do not have all the details of the incident. I can tell you, we are able to confirm that Anthony Tucker was arrested.  Based on that confirmation, Anthony will be suspended for an indefinite period of time.

“First and foremost, I wanted to make sure Anthony is okay from a physical safety standpoint, and he is.  Certainly, I am disappointed because this is not the first legal incident involving alcohol.

“I will have no further statement until we learn more about the incident.”
