Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt was arrested on Tuesday evening after police said he stole from a Hollister store in Carousel Center. He has since been suspended from all football-related activities.

Police said Hunt, a freshman backup, stole a $44 bottle of ‘Breakline Fragrance,’ according to an article published by WSYR-TV in Syracuse. He was confronted outside the store and brought to the security office by Hollister’s loss prevention officer after he concealed the bottle in a Hollister shopping bag.

He was released on an appearance ticket to appear in Syracuse City Court for a charge of petit larceny. Hunt was cooperative and apologetic, according to the article.

Head coach Doug Marrone released a statement on Wednesday regarding the incident and announcing Hunt was suspended from all football-related activities.

‘I am aware of the charges filed yesterday against Terrel Hunt by the Syracuse Police Department. Terrel has been suspended from all football-related activities.’

Police said Hunt is the only person charged in the incident, according to the article.

Hunt, 18, is from Rosedale, N.Y. He did not play in any games this season.
