Kansas star running back Pooka Williams was suspended from the Jayhawks football team Friday and pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery, one day following his arrest by KU police.
“We are aware of a reported incident involving Pooka Williams and we are taking these allegations very seriously,” KU coach Les Miles said. “We have suspended Pooka from all team-related activities pending further investigation.”
According to a release from the KU office of public safety, an 18-year-old female student reported Thursday that she was in a “physical altercation” with a 19-year-old male early Wednesday morning at Stouffer Place Apartments.
