Stay classy Hilltoppers.

Seriously though, that's a terrible story.

Anyone besides me find it odd that she was the "Freshman of the Year" and is listed as 21 years old?

Maybe it took a few tries to pass that Kentucky GED.

Former Miss Basketball Arnika Brown arrested

Arnika Brown, a former Miss Basketball and 2008 Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, has been arrested in Hopkinsville for possessing counterfeit money, according to the Hopkinsville Police Department.

According to WKDZ Radio News, Brown is charged with 11 counts of First-Degree Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument (all felonies) and five counts of Theft by Deception under $300 (all misdemeanors).

Hopkinsville Police arrested Brown Saturday night following an investigation of counterfeit money being passed at several Hopkinsville businesses. According to the arrest report, Brown said she had been with another person at several locations, passing the fake bills to make the purchases. The report did not state when the incidents occurred. The arrest report also stated Brown admitted to having five fake $100 bills but had thrown them away.

The report did not state which businesses were involved or what types of merchandise were purchased. On the arrest citation, it listed Brown's occupation as a Western Kentucky University student.

Hopkinsville police expect to make another arrest in the case. Brown was lodged in the Christian County Jail on a $114,000 surety bond.

Brown was named Miss Basketball in 2006 and was given a scholarship to the University of Kentucky. However, she left before school began that fall. She enrolled at St. Catherine's College but left before playing a game.

She enrolled at Western Kentucky University last year and was named the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year after averaging 10 points and seven rebounds for the Lady Toppers.

Maybe the Pit Crew can do something with Monopoly money when WKU comes to town.

At least it proves that WKU is not buying it's players. On the other hand, where did the counterfeit money come from?

Damn! Looks real to me!

They are discussing her potential to return to the team on the Pillpopper Haven message board. "Something this serious probably requires a team vote"?

Now we can begin to understand why they have a hallucination for a mascot.

On the bright side, printing your own money sure streches that athletic budget.

A new stadium would be a snap with a Xerox machine and a bunch of paper
