Sophomore center Maary Lakes was dismissed from the Kansas State women’s basketball team Monday morning following a second arrest in the span of a year.
According to Riley County Police Department arrest reports, Lakes was arrested after 12 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 7 on the charges of domestic battery and criminal damages to property. She has since been released on a $750 bond.
On July 16, 2018, Lakes was also arrested on a domestic battery charge and posted a $1,000 bond. Those charges were later dropped.
In a press release Monday, head coach Jeff Mittie expressed his thoughts on the dismissal of Lakes.
“Maary was a student-athlete with so much potential,” Mittie said. “Maary was someone we thought deserved a second chance, but unfortunately, it is time for us to both move on, and we wish her nothing but the best.”
In Lakes’ freshman campaign she played in 33 games recording three starts for the Wildcats, amounting to 259 minutes of action for the Wildcats. In her sophomore campaign, she played in 13 games earning 96 minutes on the court.
