EKU player allegedly involved in bar fight with Kentucky players
An Eastern Kentucky player was allegedly involved in a bar fight with three Kentucky players in Richmond, Ky.
According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, two witnesses allege that EKU lineman Colton Scurry was the aggressor in the altercation that also involved Kentucky's Dorian Baker, Drew Barker and Tymere Dubose.
Scurry's father said his son has multiple facial fractures from the incident, which is being investigated by Eastern Kentucky police as an off-campus assault.
"We were in the back part of Jerzees," said Will Ruholt, a friend of Barker's from Conner High School. "A couple people started talking (abusively) and things started to get a little heated. Colton Scurry is the one who started the entire fight. He pushed me. Multiple people can verify that."
Zach Littleton, an EKU sophomore who said he accompanied the UK players, also described Scurry as the instigator.
"I was actually pretty sober and I was watching everything that was going down," Littleton said. "Basically what happened was a bunch of UK football players come in and all you hear is, 'This is my neighborhood. What are you doing here?'
"I know if there's any video, you'll see I'm trying to defuse the situation. I was getting between them and saying, 'Calm down. Calm down.' (But) As soon as (Scurry) pushed Will, it was just a big mess. From what I saw, it wasn't just Colton. I saw a bunch of people swinging for no reason."
Scurry's father said he's "healing" and they're trying to let the legal process take its course.
You may recognize the names of Baker, Barker and Dubose from an off-field incident in 2014. They were three of the four Kentucky players charged with firing pellet guns on campus in October. Following that incident, they were suspended for the Wildcats' win over South Carolina. A Kentucky spokesperson offered no comment on the fight allegations.
