Alyn Breed, a junior guard for the Providence basketball team, has been suspended by the program after being charged with multiple crimes. Breed is facing “numerous firearm offenses,” according to Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez. The Providence basketball player was allegedly involved in a domestic dispute.
“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 said in a statement. “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.”
College security asked the authorities to campus about an incident that took place early Saturday morning, according to police. Breed has also been charged with the unlawful entry of a home, robbery, vandalism and taking someone’s car without permission.
