Nolan Randall Bolton ran onto the court during the Feb. 11 basketball game between U of L and the University of Miami, bumping into a dancer and entering the visiting team’s huddle, while reportedly threatening to kill everyone in the arena.

“There was a little bit of a commotion in our huddle,” Coach Jim Larranaga said in a press conference, according to the Courier Journal. “I glanced up and there was someone in our huddle, I believe in red. We don’t normally wear red.”

Bolton was arrested and reportedly kicked out the back window of a squad car while being transported to jail.

He was charged with assault, disorderly conduct, trespassing, criminal mischief and terroristic threatening, but was released from Metro Corrections Feb. 14, so long as he does not have contact with KFC Yum! Center and enters a mental health facility.
