Tennessee women’s basketball guard Ruby Whitehorn is due in court Tuesday to face charges of aggravated burglary and domestic assault.
She was arrested Friday afternoon at a home in North Knox County, Tenn.
Whitehorn is alleged to have gotten into a physical altercation with a woman, outside that woman’s residence. When the woman was able to get back into her home, Whitehorn allegedly followed her, kicked in the front door, and then the door to a bedroom where the woman had tried to take cover. Whitehorn also allegedly smashed a bedroom mirror.
Whitehorn said the alleged victim took her passport and cellphone and she wanted to retrieve her belongings, according to law enforcement records.
Tennessee has not yet issued a statement.
Whitehorn, a guard, is entering her senior season. She played two seasons at Clemson before transferring to the Lady Vols before the 2024-25 campaign.
She started 28 of the 34 games she appeared in at Tennessee last season, averaging 11.6 points 4.0 rebound and 1.7 assists per game. She shot 46.3 percent from the field.
