KU basketball player arrested

Junior guard Chase Buford was arrested early Saturday morning for operating a motor vehicle under the influence.

Buford, San Antonio, Texas, was arrested on the 700 block of New Hampshire Street. He was released after paying a $500 bond, according to the Douglas County Jail booking log.

Buford is 6-foot-3 and played 11 games last season. He is the son of R.C. Buford, who is the San Antonio Spurs’ general manager.

Kansas Coach Bill Self released a statement Monday about the issue.

“I am very disappointed that we are dealing with this but we will support Chase throughout... All discipline will be handled in house,” Self said.
