The latest on the Andy Kennedy story is far from what was earlier reported.
As he left the Lodge Bar, a bar in downtown Cincinnati, he and the Ole Miss assistant coaches looked for a cab to take them to where the Rebels are staying. When Kennedy asked the cab driver to pick him and his friends up, the cab driver refused because he didn't have enough seat belts to carry all five of Kennedy's group. The reason the cab driver couldn't take all five is because cabs only have five total seat belts, including the driver's.Then, another cab driver pulled up and told Kennedy that he would take all of five them if they would get into his cab. Next, the two cab drivers started arguing over the laws in Ohio for transporting people without a seat belt. At this point, Kennedy and Bill Armstrong, Director of Operations for the basketball team, tried to get out of the cab. Finally, the cab driver locked the doors and drove off with Kennedy and Armstrong. Kennedy yelled for the driver to stop the cab multiple times and when he did not, Kennedy slapped the driver and made him stop.
This is the latest from a source very close to Kennedy and the Ole Miss program.
After Kennedy and Armstrong got out of the cab, they got into another cab and attempted to get back to where the basketball team was staying. The police pulled the cab over and arrested Kennedy and Armstrong.
It was reported that Bill Armstrong was thrown out of the bar, this is false information. He was not thrown out of the bar, he was arrested by the police after being pulled over. Armstrong also had been drinking.
This is an unfortunate situation and Kennedy is embarrassed and very sorry for what he has done. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle of Kennedy's story and the cab driver's story. As the investigation goes on, Ole Miss fans obviously hope that Kennedy will be cleared of all charges.
