The basketball player was arrested along with two teammates
Three college basketball players from Southern Utah University have been arrested for allegedly stealing refrigerators. One of the suspects is the son of Percy Miller, known to the world as Master P.
The athletes were seen on security footage taking the refrigerators from the loading dock, according to court documents. They were taken from the campus bookstore as they allegedly loaded them into two vehicles. They and the vehicles used were identified using SUU directories.
Campus police were notified about the theft on Nov. 22. The three men were arrested on Nov. 27 and released the next day.
One of the refrigerators was discovered at the apartment where two of the suspects lived. The other one was located inside the garage of the third suspect’s home. When questioned, the suspects stated that they took the items after seeing the refrigerators sitting on the loading dock for “almost a month and assumed that they were being disposed of.” Another suspect assumed that the refrigerators were being thrown out.
TMZ reported that their coach explained that the incident was “a huge misunderstanding” and is confident that it will be resolved quickly. He stated that “the university is working to get this thing resolved quickly.”
