LEXINGTON, Ky. — A center on the University of Kentucky football team has been charged with alcohol intoxication after being involved in a fight near a campus bar.

        Nolan DeVaughn, 22, of Corbin, was charged Sunday in Lexington. He was arrested at 1:15 a.m. in the South Limestone campus bar area.

        DeVaughn was in the street where two other people were fighting, according to a police report. When Lexington police officer Shane Slark approached the fight to break it up, DeVaughn pushed him with his shoulder.

        DeVaughn was booked into the Lexington-Fayette County jail and released at 3:22 a.m. after a third party posted a signature bond at Fayette District Court.

        DeVaughn is scheduled to be arraigned June 15. He faces a fine of $25 plus court costs of $51.90.

        The school began a “zero-tolerance” alcohol policy after UK center Jason Watts' drunken-driving accident in November 1998 that killed two passengers, including teammate Artie Steinmetz of Edgewood. That policy was softened last year to allow athletes to keep their scholarships.
