Kansas' Bragg suspended following drug charge

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas forward Carlton Bragg has been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and remained suspended indefinitely Monday from the third-ranked Jayhawks.

Lawrence municipal court administrator Vicki Stanwix confirmed that Bragg was given a notice to appear in court after police said they found two glass smoking devices with residue inside. The paraphernalia was found last month while university police were investigating a reported rape at McCarthy Hall, which houses the basketball team on campus.

The drug case is not related to the alleged rape case at the housing complex, which is located next door to Allen Fieldhouse. Five of coach Bill Self’s players are listed as witnesses on the police report in the assault case, which involves a 16-year-old girl. Self has said “we’ve been given zero information that would warrant suspensions or anything like that” in that case.

Bragg’s first court appearance is scheduled for March 3.

Self suspended Bragg last week, saying “you can add two and two, so the whole deal, he’s been suspended for violation of team rules. “
