The Ramel Bradley arrest has stunned Kentucky basketball fans. The former Wildcats star was taken into custody this week in Lexington.
Police confirmed the arrest but haven’t released full details. Witnesses said a dispute occurred near downtown.
Bradley is reportedly facing misdemeanor charges. No injuries were reported at the scene.
He played for Kentucky from 2004 to 2008. As a senior, he averaged 15.1 points per game and served as team captain.
Bradley earned respect for his leadership and clutch scoring. His performance under Tubby Smith and Billy Gillispie made him a fan favorite.
After college, he worked in agriculture and youth programs. He co-founded AppHarvest, helping create sustainable farming projects across Kentucky.
His off-court efforts gained praise statewide. That made this arrest more surprising to many.
Social media reactions came quickly. Some fans expressed concern. Others urged caution until more facts come out.
No comment has been issued by UK Athletics. AppHarvest also declined to release a statement.
His court date has not been announced. The legal process is just beginning.
For many, Bradley’s arrest feels personal. He’s been part of Kentucky’s growth long after his basketball career ended.
The case remains under investigation. Updates are expected soon.
