Providence has suspended guard Alyn Breed indefinitely after he was charged by police with multiple crimes for an off-campus incident Saturday
The school announced its decision on Sunday.
Breed, who only averaged about five points a game for the Friars, is no longer listed on their roster.
“It was announced [Saturday] by the Providence Police Department that Providence College student-athlete Alyn Breed was charged with several crimes for actions that occurred off-campus on Saturday, April 1,” the school’s statement said. “As a result of these charges, athletic director Steve Napolillo and head coach Kim English have determined that Breed is suspended from the men’s basketball team and will not be allowed to participate in any other athletic department-related activities. [Providence] will follow its student-conduct disciplinary process regarding this matter. At this time, there will not be any further comment.”
Providence police also reported that Breed was arrested for multiple firearm and domestic counts.
This is the latest in a series of recent off-campus incidents involving college basketball players and firearms. The most prominent was Alabama basketball player Darius Miles being kicked off the team after a young Black woman was shot to death using a gun that was brought to the scene.
