Louisville senior guard Jerry Smith and sophomore forward Terrence Jennings received one year of probation and 40 hours of community service in a plea deal with Jeffersonville, Ind., City Court officials, according to an Associated Press report.
Smith and Jennings pleaded guilty to resisting law enforcement, which is a misdemeanor offense. They were arrested Oct. 11 after Jennings got into a fight at a restaurant, where off-duty police were working.
The fight spilled outside the restaurant, and Jeffersonville police officers tried to arrest Jennings by forcing him to the ground. Police reports indicate that Jennings tried to stand up, and the police struck him with a Taser twice.
After watching the police use a Taser on his teammate, Smith tried to check on Jennings. He also was arrested when he refused to back away when the police ordered him to do so.
Last season, Smith averaged 7.8 points per game and shot 41.2 percent from three-point range. Jennings added 4.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.
