Pitt guard Ithiel Horton was reinstated to the Pitt men’s basketball program on Wednesday, following the resolution of his legal issues, which stemmed from an incident on Nov. 6. The announcement from Pitt that Horton had been reinstated came just hours after the most serious charge against him was dropped.
During a hearing on Wednesday, the felony charge of aggravated assault that Horton was facing was dropped as part of a plea deal. Horton then pled guilty to one count of public intoxication and two counts of disorderly conduct. He also agreed to take anger management classes, undergo drug and alcohol evaluations and complete 80 hours of community service as part of the deal.
