Emanuel Yakubov, 25, was arrested after allegedly breaking into St. John's athletic department offices, stealing a ceremonial sword and bullhorn owned by coach Rick Pitino.
St. John's University expressed gratitude towards the NYPD for their swift response and recovery of stolen property, emphasizing campus safety and cooperation with law enforcement.
Rick Pitino, preparing for his second season with St. John's, previously had a challenging tenure at Louisville, where he was fired amid a corruption scandal.
Despite a respectable 20-13 record last season and a fifth place finish in the Big East, Pitino's St. John's team fell short of the NCAA tournament.
