It has been reported that recently named captain of the men’s Central Connecticut State University basketball team, Ken Horton, has been arrested.

In a story posted by The Hartford Courant, it was reported that the arrest for breach of peace on Friday was the result of an alleged altercation that took place on Thursday.

Horton, 22, was the only CCSU athlete involved in the altercation, as confirmed by the CCSU Sports Information Director Tom Pincince.

Pincince was able to confirm this, but little else. “We are aware of the situation, and are currently in the fact finding process. When all of the facts are gathered we will handle the matter appropriately,” said Pincince in a statement on behalf of the CCSU athletics department.

The senior was named captain of the 2011-12 men’s basketball team by head coach Howie Dickenman in July after a standout junior season.

The 6-foot-6 forward led the team in free-throws with 159 and threes with 59. He posted multiple career-highs, ending the 2010-11 season with 606 points, 275 rebounds, 44 steals and 60 rebounds. He is the current Northeast Conference player of the year and was regarded as one of the most valuable players in the nation by SI.com writer Luke Winn.

With the basketball season beginning on Nov. 11 in the Connecticut 6 Classic, it is still unclear what actions will be taken.

The CCSU athletics department has no further comment at this time according to Pincince.
