Lutrus arrested

UConn captain and linebacker Scott Lutrus was arrested Friday morning for allegedly interfering with an officer outside Celeron Square Apartments. His older brother Kyle was also arrested. It was Lutrus' 21st birthday on Thursday.

Lutrus was released on $500 non-surety bond.

Just got police report for now folks.


Update: Hearing some conflicting things and nothing from UConn yet. Here is how the arrest log reads:

"Officers were dispatched to a report of a fight on Hunting Lodge Road by the entrance to Celeron Square Apartments. Upon arrival, officers attempted to detain Lutrus. Lutrus resisted and began fighting with the officers. Lutrus became loud and combative while dealing with officers."

That's pretty much it in the log. So many questions trying to get answers to. As far as Lutrus, it's embarrassing for him because he is a captain. Interfering with a police officer and a $500 non-surety bond is a slap on the wrist stuff. Just getting arrested is punishment enough. Kyle Lutrus was released on a written promise to appear.

For example, some kid named Nikita Guryakov (who is not an athlete) was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer and he had a $100,000 bond. Two officers went to the hospital to get their injuries looked at. Think about that and what is or isn't news. Not saying Lutrus' isn't news, he was arrested a week after being named captain of the team. But there is a certain degree of unfairness going on here. I will try and get Lutrus' side.

BTW, if you gave me 100 players on the team and told me to that one was arrested. I would guess 99 names before Lutrus.

I'll see what I can dig up and confirm.

Update 2: After some emails: I have no evidence that Lutrus was arrested unfairly. I just have a lot of questions about the report, some of it doesn't make sense, and what were the circumstances of the fight. Desmond Connor from the courant has some updates, but I haven't confirmed any of it about what they were doing there.
