AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn assistant coach Chuck Person is no longer employed with the university, according to a school spokesperson. Person was indicted Tuesday on multiple counts by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York Tuesday morning.

Person was arrested on federal fraud and corruption charges on Sept. 26. The university announced he was suspended without pay hours after his arrest, but the university has terminated his contract. The assistant's most recent contract signed on June 1, 2016 was a two-year deal expiring on May 31, 2018 with an annual base salary of $250,000. The contract was terminated on Wednesday, Oct. 18 according to a school spokesperson.

Auburn president Steven Leath has called the scandal an "isolated" incident.

"I think it says clearly that they don't think there's some structural problem or some broader problem at the university, that this was an isolated individual," Leath said. "I don't think anybody else knew. I don't think there's any indication at Auburn that anybody else knew about this."

Person was indicted on six felony counts Tuesday including conspiracy to commit bribery, solicitation of bribes by an agent of a federally funded organization, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, honest services wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy and travel act conspiracy. The charges were the result of a joint investigation by the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office going back to 2015 into the criminal influence of money on NCAA coaches and student-athletes. Person is alleged to have accepted $91,500 in bribes over a 10-month period in exchange.

Auburn ruled Austin Wiley and Danjel Purifoy out indefinitely as it investigates claims in the arresting documents that Person gave their families $18,500.

Coach Bruce Pearl elevated director of basketball operations Chad Prewett to interim assistant coach on Sept. 29 at the start of preseason practice to replace Person on staff while the university conducted its internal investigation.
