Kentucky football players charged with burglary waive preliminary hearings

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Charges against six Kentucky football players resulting from a March incident at an off-campus party will be presented to a grand jury.

Offensive lineman R.J. Adams, running back JuTahn McClain, defensive back Andru Phillips, wide receiver Earnest Sanders IV, safety Vito Tisdale and defensive back Joel Williams were each charged with burglary, first degree. Tisdale was also charged with wanton endangerment first degree based on "being identified as the suspect pointing a handgun at one of the victims," according to a Lexington Police Department news release.

The six players waived their preliminary hearings scheduled in Fayette District Court Wednesday morning to the grand jury.
