An Arkansas State University golfer has been dismissed from the men's team after he was arrested in Kentucky on sexual assault charges, officials said Friday.
Dayton Ross Jones, 20, a junior transfer student, is charged with first-degree sodomy with serious physical injury, distributing matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, use of a minor in a sex performance and promoting a minor in a sex performance, according to the Christian County jail’s inmate roster.
Jones was booked into the Christian County jail in Hopkinsville, Ken., on Tuesday, and is being held in lieu of $1 million bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
Jerry Scott, assistant athletic director for ASU, said the university is still getting details on the matter.
Calls to the public information officer for the Christian County sheriff’s office were not immediately returned.
Details are still developing at this time.
