Oklahoma basketball players charged with shoplifting www.privateofficer.com
NORMAN, Okla. Feb 9 2010 Two Oklahoma basketball players have been cited for allegedly shoplifting at a Sooner Mall department store in Norman.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer Newell says Andrew Fitzgerald and Steven Pledger were ticketed for petty larceny Saturday night and released.
Newell said Monday the citation was written by a security officer in Dillard’s. She says according to the ticket, the security officer reported seeing Fitzgerald and Pledger about 8:50 p.m. concealing shirts inside a blue, plastic bag.
Pledger, a 6-4 freshman guard, played 24 minutes and scored nine points in Oklahoma’s 80-71 upset victory over No. 9 Texas on Saturday. Fitzgerald started the game, played 19 minutes and scored three points.
Team spokesman Mike Houck says the situation will be handled internally.
