Senior safety Gary Chandler was arrested early Sunday morning in Manhattan by the Riley County Police Department.
The details aren’t available yet – RCPD spokesman Lt. Kurt Moldrup said the files would be available around 9:30 a.m., at which time I’ll be on my way to Manhattan for this week’s news conference – but the report says driving with a suspended or canceled license, obstructing the legal process and something else pertaining to violence (EDIT: It was actually habitual violator, and I’m an idiot.)
Again, all of the details aren’t available right now.
Chandler, the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2007, has played in four games this season, recording 11 tackles. But he didn’t have a tackle in Saturday’s victory against Louisiana-Lafayette. He was listed as Courtney Herndon’s backup for this weekend’s Big 12 opener against Texas Tech.

Jeff, can you confirm whether the “violence” involved Gary bank-hand slapping Tibesar? TIA.
Hopefully Gary doesn’t have a child! I’m not going there again….
hey Jmart..better delete the violence part of your blog on Chandler.
I agree, there was no kind of violence invovled. Please state the facts, and think about reconsidering a new source. And for PettMB, you did a good job for not going there. Until you come to know him personally, you have no room to say “Hopefully Gary doesn’t have a child”. With a comment like that shows that you don’t need to have any children. You act like he’s a predator, or a convicted felon.
Allow me to explain. I’m not going to delete the violence part, because it’s wrong and I’m not going to hide from a mistake. Instead, I’m going to add an editorial note. We receive reports from the Riley County Police Department, and there was an abbreviation listed. It said “habitual viol.” It was habitual violator, and I want to apologize for suggesting it might have been some sort of violence. That wasn’t my intent – to be honest, the RCPD spokesman didn’t have the information yet, and in retrospect, I should have just asked him what that meant. I’ve had dealings with Gary, and he’s a good dude. Didn’t mean to cast him in a “violent” light.
