LAFAYETTE, IN — Police say they stopped former Purdue basketball star Zach Edey on May 1 driving 101 mph in a 55-mph zone on Indiana 25 in southern Tippecanoe County.
Edey’s northbound Kia Sorento passed the Indiana State Police trooper’s southbound vehicle at 7:03 p.m., according to a probable cause affidavit. When the trooper caught up to the speeding car, Edey turned eastbound on Tippecanoe County Road 700 South and stopped.
Edey has an initial hearing at 10:30 a.m. Monday in Tippecanoe Superior 6 on a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving.
Edey, 23, of Memphis, told police he was trying to pass a vehicle as an explanation for speeding.
The former Boilermaker was drafted as a center for the Memphis Grizzlies after leading Purdue in the NCAA championship game in 2024. Purdue’s men’s basketball social media accounts posted a photo of Edey, among other players and alumni, in Mackey on May 6.
