Two Bradley basketball players were busted Wednesday night for using fake IDs at an 'adult establishment' in Peoria, Ill., following the team's 69-57 loss to Drake, the Journal Star reported.

Leading scorer Warren Jones, a 20-year-old junior guard, was arrested early Thursday morning for obstruction of identification and criminal trespass at Big Al's in downtown Peoria. He was booked into Peoria County Jail at 5:07 a.m. and was released at 6:33 a.m. after posting bond. Teammate Ka'Darryl Bell, also 20, was ticketed, according to Peoria police.

Jones, who is averaging 14 points per game, scored 18 in Wednesday's loss. Bell, a junior guard, was right in line with his season average, scoring seven points on Wednesday.

“I would like to apologize to the Bradley community for last night’s incident involving members of our basketball team," coach Geno Ford said in a statement released Thursday evening. " These student-athletes have not represented Bradley University and our community appropriately and their actions, especially immediately following a poor performance on the court, are unacceptable.
"We continue to gather all of the pertinent information and we will follow all of our disciplinary procedures.  Simultaneously, I will closely examine all of the circumstances that would allow for such poor decision-making by the young men under my supervision."
