Murray State basketball player arrested on DUI, marijuana charges

A Murray State University basketball player was arrested Sunday night following a traffic stop in Livingston County.

Kenny White Jr. was stopped by Kentucky State Police along I-24 near the Grand Rivers exit because his vehicle had a headlight out. 

Kentucky State Police told West Kentucky Star that the trooper suspected White was under the influence. They said a search uncovered marijuana in the vehicle. 

White was arrested and charged with DUI, marijuana possession, and traffic violations. He was taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail.


White is a 6'7" sophomore guard from Madisonville. He transferred to Murray from Tennessee Tech. White scored 11 points in Murray's win over UIC on Saturday. His career high at Murray was 18 in the win over Texas A&M.
