A second suspect has been arrested for stealing a ceremonial sword and a megaphone from Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Pitino's office at St. John's University, New York City police said.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday on robbery and home invasion charges for the Aug. 20 robbery, police said. It was unclear if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Twenty-five-year-old Emanuel Yakubov was arrested on August 23, a day after police released surveillance footage showing two men walking down a hallway with the stolen sword and megaphone.
Yabukov was charged with robbery, petty theft, burglary and possession of stolen property. A request for comment was sent to the Legal Aid Society, which represents him, on Wednesday.
Pitino, 71, was hired by St. John's last year with hopes of restoring a Big East program that had its heyday in the 1980s.
His lengthy career has included stints as head coach at Boston University, Providence College, the University of Kentucky, the University of Louisville and Iona University.
