 Ingram Arrested for Solicitation

Monday, April 20

Oakland police allege that Ingram solicited online and then met an undercover officer at a Motel 6 on April 16. They then arrested Ingram "on suspicion of misdemeanor solicitation of a lewd act."

Mike Vernon of the San Francisco Chronicle provided a statement from Ingram's attorney:

The school has placed Ingram on administrative leave. In a statement provided to Faraudo, the school said:

"

We are aware of the situation and at this time the University is in the process of gathering more information. We were first made aware of the situation prior to the spring game. Coach Ingram did not participate in the spring game (Saturday) and has been placed on administrative leave while the University looks into the matter.

Once that process is complete and the situation has been fully assessed, we will be in a position to comment further.

"

Ingram is entering his third year with the Golden Bears. He worked with the running backs in 2013 and 2014 before being moved to wide receivers in 2015. Before arriving in Berkeley, he spent three years with current Cal coach Sonny Dykes at Louisiana Tech.
