A star Bradley basketball player has been arrested for domestic battery. Peoria Police took 23 year old Daniel Ruffin into custody about 5:30 Saturday morning at his apartment at 908 North Frink.
A police report says Ruffin was arrested for use of hands and feet. Police say the 20 year old female victim was taken to OSF St. Francis Medical Center. A spokesman for the hospital says the victim is not a patient there now. Ruffin remained in the Peoria County jail as of early Sunday morning.
A statement released by Bradley University says Ruffin has been suspended from the team indefinitely. He did not play against Milwaukee-Wisconsin Saturday night and his status for the remainder of the season will be based upon further review.
Bradley Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh says, “With high expectations of our student athletes, this situation is extremely disappointing news to all. We will continue to review this matter and share additional information as it becomes available.”
