Preston LeMaster, a member of the UK basketball team from 2002-06, was arrested in Paris, Ky. on three drug-related charges. The Bourbon County Arrests website lists possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, and prescription drugs not in proper container on LeMaster's arrest page. A Bourbon County native and the son of former Wildcat Jim LeMaster, Preston was arrested back in 2014 for selling counterfeit tickets to UK games. It was alleged that he was doing that to pay for his drug addiction.
