Connecticut point guard Antonio Kellogg has been expelled from the school and granted a special form of probation on charges stemming from two recent arrests.
The 19-year-old Kellogg was in court Wednesday on charges including attempting to assault a police officer, first-degree criminal trespass, and interfering with an officer.
Kellogg was arrested on April 9 after a confrontation with police inside a UConn dormitory.
Last month, the freshman was charged with possession of less than four ounces of marijuana after he and several friends were approached by police. Kellogg allegedly dropped a bag of marijuana on the ground in an effort to conceal it from a state trooper who said he detected the smell of "burnt marijuana."
Superior Court Judge Constance Epstein granted Kellogg a special form of probation Wednesday known as "accelerated rehabilitation." Under the program, if Kellogg successfully completes two years of probation, which includes enrollment in a drug program, the charges will be dismissed.
Kellogg played about 14 minutes a game this past season, backing up Marcus Williams. He appeared in 29 games, averaging just over three points.
He was suspended from the team after the Big East Tournament for a "violation of team policy."
