Tommy Hutton, who has refereed seven KHSAA Sweet 16 boys' state tournaments in Rupp Arena, has been suspended by the KHSAA following an arrest on drug charges.

Hutton was charged with two counts of first-degree trafficking of a controlled substance.

Here is an excerpt from the Herald-Leader:

Damron said that, during the monthlong investigation into allegations that the men were selling narcotics, a prospective drug buyer cooperating with police told officers that a drug buy could be made at a Little League game that Wright was attending. Damron said he did not know if Wright was officiating at the game or just attending it.

Damron said he declined to have the cooperating witness make the drug buy at a game.

Both men pleaded not guilty in Letcher District Court. They declined to comment Friday through officials at the Letcher County Jail where they were held under a $50,000 bond.

^ Lock them up for good. If these guys were selling to the very kids that they were refereeing, I hope they burn these assholes at the stake!

All Schools have Rivals with other teams. Selling Drugs to kids (Even if they play on your team's Rival's) is just wrong and shouldn't be tolerated, let the kid(s) enjoy there life on and off the court and stop trying to screw there life's up because your life is

^ Amen!

Don't know for sure they weren't selling to kids, but do know they were selling to the adults that were coming to "watch the game". Either way, still not a good thing and they deserve what they get for doing something like this.

if ue gonna be a coach dont do drugs

Agreed! Lock em up
