Arterio Morris has been dismissed from the Kansas men's basketball team after he was arrested and charged with rape, Bill Self announced Friday.

Per documents obtained by ESPN, Morris was arrested Friday by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office for «rape; circumstances unknown,» which is a felony. «When we learned of allegations regarding Arterio Morris, he was suspended from the Kansas men's basketball program,» Self said in a statement. «We are now aware he has been arrested and charged, and he was dismissed from the program.

As this is an ongoing legal matter, we are not able to comment further at this time.» The bond for Morris was set at $75,000 when he was booked into Douglas County jail.

Per jail records, Morris was no longer in custody as of 11:45 a.m. ET on Friday. Morris, a transfer from Texas, helped the Longhorns make a run to the Elite Eight last season before he transferred to Kansas this offseason.
