A South Carolina men's basketball player has been detained at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center on multiple charges.
Freshman guard Rakym Felder was arrested on six charges listed on the detention center's website: disorderly/public disorderly conduct, assault/simple assault and battery, resisting arrest, fail to stop on police command, pedestrian on controlled access highway and use of another’s or altered license or identification.
As of 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Felder remained in custody according to the detention center's officials solely due to his resisting arrest charge.
Felder committed to Frank Martin and South Carolina's men's basketball program last spring and was rated as a three-star prospect by 247sports.com. He is from Brooklyn in New York City but played his freshman high school season at Indian Land High School in Fort Mill.
Felder's arrest not the first for the men's basketball program. Last March, two former members of the program, Jamall Gregory and Eric Cobb, were charged in an incident resulting in private property damage. Cobb was also charged for assault that involved shooting a pellet gun at an occupied vehicle.
