Ole Miss coach makes plea deal in Ohio
Court Alerts
Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct in his cab driver assault case.
Kennedy avoided trial and possible jail time with the plea deal Monday in Hamilton County Municipal Court in Cincinnati. He will be on probation for six months and must perform 40 hours of community service.
He was arrested last December when Mississippi was in Cincinnati for a game against Louisville as part of the SEC/Big East Invitational. The cab driver said Kennedy punched him in the face and called him a terrorist after he told the coach he couldn't legally fit him and four others into his cab.
Kennedy is still embroiled in civil lawsuits with the driver and a valet who says he saw the confrontation.
