Tennessee’s Ruby Whitehorn Pleads Guilty to Lesser Charges in Assault Case

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Lady Vols Guard Ruby Whitehorn pleaded guilty Friday to two misdemeanors as part of an agreement that will see her record cleared.

Whitehorn pleaded guilty to aggravated trespassing and vandalism; originally, she also faced domestic assault and burglary charges, but they were dismissed.

As part of the agreement, Whitehorn is required to complete an 11-month and 29-day probation and attend anger management classes. Her lawyer, Greg Isaacs, released a statement after her appearance.

“Ruby Whitehorn is an excellent student athlete and we were pleased with a lot of hard work and investigation by all the parties, [and] that we were able to resolve this case,” Isaacs said. “The agreement is a judicial diversion plea to two simple misdemeanors aggravated trespassing and vandalism. That means at the end of this case, it will be completely dismissed and expunged.”

Whitehorn is currently under suspension from the team. She is due back in court November 13.
