LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming basketball player accused of kicking a man in the face during a bar fight has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge.
Deputy Albany County prosecutor Joshua Merseal says Luke Martinez entered the plea Monday in circuit court in Laramie.
A judge sentenced Martinez to 45 days in jail and ordered him to pay $58,000 restitution. He started serving the sentence Monday.
Prosecutors say Martinez kicked an unconscious man outside a Laramie bar in December.
Martinez, of Bismarck, N.D., had faced felony charges of aggravated assault and battery. He was suspended from the team.
