John Wall charged with breaking and entering

Posted May 4, 2009
John Wall, one of the nation's top uncommitted college prospects, has been cited with breaking and entering, Raleigh police said Monday. Authorities said Wall, 18, was charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering in connection with an April 27 break-in at a home at 3924 Laurel Glen Drive in Raleigh. An officer saw Wall leaving from the rear of the residence and was able to detain him, police said. Police said there was no forced entry at the residence and no indication that anything was taken from it.

THT Note: Bomani Jones of 850 the Buzz noted that the home that Wall entered is currently owned by a bank and that it is likely a vacant foreclosure, which could explain why there was no forced entry or missing items. (WRAL.com)
