LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- A second alleged ticket scam case against one of the University of Kentucky's all-time leading basketball scorers has been sent to the grand jury.

Ed Davender appeared in Fayette District Court on Thursday for a preliminary hearing on a charge of theft by deception. The charge alleges that he never produced NCAA men's Final Four tickets for which he took $4,000 from a Louisville man.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports Davender's attorney told Judge Megan Lake Thornton that they are trying to work out a plea with the Fayette County attorney's office.

Davender was sentenced in August to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to a ticket scam that may have cost victims $100,000.
