LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A former central Kentucky high school
basketball star has pleaded not guilty to a felony weapons charge.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Jonathan "Bud" Mackey
entered his plea to being a felon in possession of a handgun in
Fayette Circuit Court on Thursday.
Lexington police arrested Mackey on May 14, after responding to
a call of shots fired, and finding Mackey with a handgun.
He pleaded guilty last fall to an amended charge of first-degree
possession of a controlled substance.
Mackey was the Sweet Sixteen's most valuable player while on
Scott County's 2007 state championship team. He had planned to play
basketball at Indiana University.
His next court date is scheduled for July 6.

What a waste of a young kid with skills. He could have a great life but instead is determined to become a thug. He will be in prison or dead before the age of 25.

ZATOICHOI I WOULD EXPECT SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM A RICH WHITE DEVIL. BUD IS NOT A BAD KID, JUST MISGUIDED. THIS WILL BE A SUCCESS STORY WHEN IT IS ALL OVER. ALL HE NEEDS IS SOME GUIDANCE AND CALAPARI IS JUST THE MAN TO GIVE IT TO HIM. ALWAYS BEATING ON THE BLACK MAN. ALWAYS BEATING DOWN A KID WHO MAKE MISTAKES.
