Several people witnessed the vandalism and have interviewed with police. Investigators also spoke to the owner of the car, the report said.
Kansas coach Bill Self, reading from a prepared statement Wednesday night, said he was unable to comment on a 2015 KU investigation that found Vick likely hit a female student multiple times.
The Star reported Monday that the KU Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access ruled, based on a preponderance of evidence, that Vick likely committed domestic violence. The office recommended two years of university probation. Vick was not charged with a crime. It is unknown whether Vick was suspended, though he has not missed games this season and played in Kansas’ 73-68 win over No. 2 Baylor on Wednesday night.
Beyond the apparent troubles for Vick and now Jackson, police are also investigating the alleged rape in December of a 16-year-old girl at an on-campus dorm that houses Kansas’ men’s basketball team.
During that investigation, police found two glass devices with residue. On Wednesday, sophomore forward Carlton Bragg was granted diversion of a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. He remains suspended indefinitely from the team.
