WINCHESTER, Ky. (AP) - Former Kentucky basketball player Derrick Miller has pleaded not guilty to theft by deception charges in connection with an alleged ticket scam.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Miller's lawyer entered that plea Wednesday in Clark County District Court, but Judge Earl-Ray Neal said another felony count has been filed in Bell County against the 42-year-old ex-Wildcat.
Miller also faces another felony theft by deception charge in Fayette County. Lexington police say Miller accepted payment in advance for tickets when they weren't available to him to sell. Former Kentucky star Ed Davender was arrested Sept. 1 in a similar case.
Miller can be released from the Clark County jail on 10% of $5,000 bond, but Neal said Miller will still have to post bond in Fayette and Bell counties.
