Former University of Kentucky guard Kerr Kriisa was arrested by FBI agents in Lexington and is expected to be extradited to West Virginia in connection with a reported fraud case.
The Fayette County Detention Center confirmed that Kriisa was being held there and said he was arrested on the evening of July 3, according to WKYT.
Because the matter is federal, the detention center told WKYT it could not release details about the arrest or charges. Bail had not been set as of the station’s report.
On3 reported that the allegations stem from Kriisa’s time at West Virginia during the 2023-24 season and involve a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme. WKYT reported that the FBI had not publicly released detailed allegations at the time of publication.
Kriisa, 25, is expected to be transferred from Kentucky to West Virginia. On3 reported that a court hearing is scheduled for next week.
