Another layer has been added to the Josh Jackson car vandalism incident.
The situation escalated when Kansas women's basketball player McKenzie Calvert's father, Tim Calvert, alleged Jackson's local attorney offered money to keep the Calverts from pressing charges after Jackson damaged McKenzie's car.
On Saturday, another of Jackson's attorneys, Scott Boatman, responded with a statement:
"It is unfortunate that Mr. Calvert is single-handedly creating a narrative that is not accurate," Boatman said, according to The Kansas City Star. "It is clear that he is frustrated with several parties and with matters unrelated to Josh, yet he continues to manipulate the facts as it relates to a good faith offer of restitution. Mr. Calvert specifically requested that we discuss restitution with his attorney and we complied with his request."
Boatman didn't get into detail about the restitution agreement, and wouldn't respond to any questions.
