Borrow some money from your brother dude.....
oh that's not good. I just assumed they stole something from like a local market. I wouldn't call stealing something from Louis Vuitton "shoplifting". that's more like grand larceny.socaliganbear said:
Allegedly stole from Louis Vuitton. That can add up quickly. . .
Not good at all. If they were your regular average-joe type of US citizen getting caught for this, they'd be in a ton of trouble. Not sure how their being more high profile will impact this, if at all. Maybe the US State Department gets involved?ducky23 said:

LOL what a bunch of buffoons. Although I'll admittedly feel bad for them if they get sent to years of hard labor.
EDIT: On second thought, they can't possibly be that stupid and Asian countries are notoriously racist. I'll wait for more info before bashing them....
I believe that the LV store is either in or right next to the hotel where both teams are staying, so yeah, they prob grabbed whatever group of kids where there that happened to match a description. But there must be some reason why all were released but 3.ColoradoBear said:PtownBear1 said:

What weird was this morning there was an article that three GT players were detained and interviewed regarding some kind of crime. So was this just due to there being a description of three black males stealing something? Unless someone was caught with the goods, it might be more than a little tenuous.

From Dan Wetzel: LiAngelo Ball and UCLA teammates could face 3-10 years in prison if convicted of shoplifting

If LaVar starts opening his mouth, those kids could do serious time.
Or maybe 3 years in a Chinese prison.ncbears said:
I'm sure they will be suspended for the first half of the game on November 15 against Central Arkansas. Ok, maybe not the first half. Maybe the first five minutes.
This reminded me of some of the members of the Texas Southern band that went on a shoplifting rampage in Tokyo in 1992 after performing at the Nebraska-Kansas State football game held in that country where Cal had played Washington State in 1987.calgldnbear said:

Whether or not the state dept gets involved really depends on whether the kids are white or black. If they are white, trump will save them If they're black, well ........85Bear said:Not good at all.

I believe one of them (Jaylen Hill) had a recurring role as Sideshow Bob in the Simpsons. Perhaps Hollywood will step in and exert some influence.graguna said:

So what is the big deal here? It's Westwood. It's UCLA.
Here is an incident from 1966, reported again in the LA Times, October 11, 1997:
"Forward Mike Lynn, about to begin his senior campaign, was suspended for a season after being charged with (and later convicted of) illegal use of a stolen credit card a few days before the 1966-67 opener. He came back to play in the 1967-68 season."
Some things never change.
