3 UTEP football players, manager arrested on separate charges earlier this month

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Three UTEP football players and a football manager were arrested earlier this month on separate charges.

One of the players, Kane Lakeith Bowen, a Linebacker, was arrested on Dec. 7 for evading arrest or detention. He was released on personal recognizance.

The other player, Jordan Isaiah Andrus, a tight end, was arrested on Dec. 7 for possession of marijuana and disorderly conduct.

Police documents stated Andrus was allegedly involved in a fight with security personnel at the Kyoshi Sound House Bar at the Cincinnati Entertainment District near UTEP.

Officers said they were responding to a “shots fired” call when they saw Andrus and a second individual running from the bar and toward the campus.

Police eventually chased Andrus down, and that’s when they allegedly found he had marijuana on him.

The third player, Erion Wilkins, a cornerback, was also arrested Dec. 7 and charged with disorderly conduct.

A UTEP football manager, Gino Gigliotti, was also arrested for DWI on Dec. 3.

According to police documents, Gigliotti was allegedly caught driving the wrong way on Resler Drive in West El Paso at around 11:34 p.m.

The officer who spotted Gigliotti and pulled him over reported smelling alcohol on his clothes and breath.

Gigliotti reportedly told the officer he thought he was on the correct side of the road, adding that he was driving from The Shack Restaurant, near the West Towne Marketplace.
