Kansas State aide arrested

Hill stopped for suspicion of DUI

? Kansas State associate men’s basketball coach Dalonte Hill was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence, Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Riat said.

The arrest came just hours after Kansas State defeated No. 2 Kansas, 84-75, in Manhattan.

Riat said a deputy stopped Hill’s vehicle for a traffic violation and took him into custody after finding probable cause that Hill was under the influence. Hill later was released after posting $500 bond.

Pottawatomie County Attorney Sherri Schuck said late Thursday afternoon that she had not yet reviewed the case, so no charges had been filed.

In a statement released Thursday evening, Hill apologized for the incident.

“I am embarrassed for the attention this has brought to our program,” Hill said. “I regret this situation taking away any attention from our team’s accomplishments and from our preparation for Saturday’s game with Missouri.”

Kansas State athletic director Tim Weiser said head coach Frank Martin decided that Hill would not coach Saturday night.

“Coach Martin and Dalonte felt that, given his poor decision, it would be appropriate for him to sit out Saturday’s game. I agreed and accepted their decision.”
