Two Kansas State football players were arrested Monday night. The incident brought to five the number of Wildcats players in legal trouble during the past week.
In the latest event, linebacker Daniel Green and safety Wayne Jones were arrested by Riley County police on South Seth Child Road on charges of marijuana possession, while Green also was charged with driving while suspended, a first conviction.
Both players were released after posting $1,000 bonds.
On Saturday night, linebackers Nick Allen and DeMarquese Hayes were arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, while running back Jacardia Wright was arrested early Sunday morning for failure to appear. Wright was free on $500 bond, Allen posted a $1,500 bond and Hayes was not confined, according to Riley County police.
Kansas State coach Chris Klieman issued a statement through the school’s athletics communication office Tuesday morning.
“I am extremely disappointed in the poor choices made recently by some of our student-athletes,” Klieman said. “We have high expectations within our program, and when those expectations are not met, there are consequences.
“The high standards and expectations within our football program will not change, and the character and integrity of the players on our team will not be compromised.”

Klieman added that he will handle all player disciplinary action internally.
Jones started all 13 games at safety as a redshirt freshman last season, ranking fourth on the team in tackles with 57. He also broke up one pass and was credited with one quarterback hurry.
Green appeared in all 13 games during his redshirt freshman season with 34 tackles, sixth on the team. He had 3½ tackles for loss, including two sacks, plus forced and recovered one fumble.
Allen also appeared in all 13 games, primarily on special teams, where he recorded two tackles on punt coverage, plus was a member of the Wildcats’ punt return unit that produced four touchdowns.
Wright played in three games as a true freshman and retained his freshman eligibility as a redshirt. He rushed for 122 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries, including 60 yards in Kansas State’s defeat of Iowa State in the team's regular-season finale.
Hayes completed his high school career last fall and enrolled early for the spring semester. He will be a true freshman in 2020.
