The Les Miles era in Kansas is off to a rough start (through no fault of his own), as a star player was arrested on Thursday.
According to police reports, star RB Pooka Williams was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery.
Les Miles issued a statement following the arrest, as you can see in the tweet below, saying Williams has been suspended from all team activities:

Domestic battery is a very serious thing, so if charges are filed, Williams could end up kicked off the team and potentially in jail.
Williams ran for 1,125 yards and seven touchdowns as a freshman this season, adding two more scores as a receiver.
