Update (5/29, 3:21 p.m.): Despite being innocent until proven guilty, the Kentucky Wildcats released Walker Tuesday afternoon, though the amount of cocaine appears to have dropped 24 grams.

From espn.com:

Walker, a junior, faces a June 20 hearing in Fayette District Court after being released Friday on a $1,000 surety bond. Lexington police arrested the 21-year-old Walker and another man Thursday morning after finding at least five pounds of marijuana and four grams of cocaine during a search of an off-campus apartment.


Assuming you didn't die this morning, your pre-Memorial Weekend Thursday is probably going better than that of Kentucky junior defensive back Marcus Walker. Lexington police raided Walker's home early before sunrise on a drug trafficking warrant.

Walker's arrest citation says he was possessing an estimated five pounds of marijuana and an ounce of cocaine. Police also found a large amount of cash and a cash counter when executing a search warrant.

Walker pled not guilty and is expected to be released on $1,000 bond later today.
