SHOCKING: Kansas State head coach announces as former wildcat player arrested for drug abuse………
Former Kansas State men’s basketball star Michael Beasley was back in Manhattan for the Sunflower Showdown as the Wildcats took down rival No. 16 Kansas 81-73 last Saturday.
The following day, Beasley was arrested at the Manhattan Regional Airport for possession of marijuana. He was released on a $750 bond.
Following the arrest, Beasley released a statement on Instagram.
“Though it’s still fresh, I’m focused on learning and making better decisions,” he said.
Beasley went on to thank the K-State staff and fans for their unwavering support of him. A No. 2 overall pick in 2008, he was out and about, meeting a lot of the fans and signing autographs at Rockin K’s before the game.
“Everyone is treating me like I’m a cool guy. I didn’t realize I would get this much respect as a former player,” Beasley told the Wichita Eagle.
