Investigation transferred to district attorney

The investigation into an incident that injured sophomore offensive lineman Ben Lueken has been forwarded from the KU Public Safety Office to the office of Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, Capt. Schuyler Bailey said.

The investigation is stemming from an April 5 altercation in the Jayhawker Towers parking lot in which Lueken was hospitalized with head injuries, including several lacerations when he was either struck or fell from the hood of an SUV. Lueken was released from the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., in good condition on April 9 and did not appear at Kansas’ spring game on April 11.
