PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Providence suspended guard Alyn Breed
after he was charged with pointing a gun at his girlfriend and
other crimes over the weekend.
Maj. David Lapatin said Breed wielded the gun during an exchange
with his girlfriend in an off-campus apartment early Saturday,
The Providence Journal reported. He also is accused of taking a
cellphone, driving someone’s car without permission and
vandalism.
Breed, 22, is charged with using a firearm in a violent crime,
carrying a dangerous weapon during the commission of a violent
crime, carrying a firearm without a license, unlawful entry of a
home, domestic robbery, domestic vandalism and driving a vehicle
without consent of the owner, Lapatin said.
Breed was arrested Saturday and remained in custody awaiting a
court appearance Monday. It was not known if he had an attorney
who could speak on his behalf.
The school released a statement Saturday night saying athletic
director Steve Napolillo and new men's basketball coach Kim
English suspended Breed, who “will not be allowed to participate
in any other athletic department-related activities.”
Breed averaged 4.8 points per game this season, which ended with
a loss to Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
