All it takes is one mistake and things can change very quickly. Treyvon Reed was set to join the Maryland basketball team and they were happy to have the 4-star center. That is until Reed got caught stealing and ice cream bar and Reese’s, then hit a cop:
According to court documents, Reed was arrested shortly before midnight Wednesday after two plain-clothes Prince George’s County police officers saw him put an ice cream bar and two candy bars into his pants pocket at a 7-Eleven on Route 1, and leave the store without paying.
When the officer confronted Reed and another unnamed male outside the store, Reed “began acting as if he did not understand,” according to charging documents. The officer then reached to place Reed under arrest and Reed attempted to pull away and run.
According to police, Reed hit the officer on the left hand as he was trying to control the Maryland player. The other officer, who was inside the store, went to his fellow officer’s aid.
Reed took one four-pack of Reese’s peanut butter cups, one two-pack of big Reeses peanut butter cups and a Twix ice cream bar. The total value was $5.81.
It’s actually really sad to think this kid threw his future away for $5.81. I don’t know why he also thought it was a good idea to flee from the cops and hit one of them. Maryland is getting a bit thin though, having seen four players transfer from the team in the last year. This will make things a bit tougher on the Terps in their first year in the Big Ten.
