A North Dakota State University football player was kicked off the team after he was allegedly caught stealing a designer bag filled with high-end valuables, including a pricey Rolex watch, during a wild Fourth of July boat outing in Minnesota.
William Frattalone, 20, is due in court later this week on accusations he swiped a designer bag filled with more than $270,000 worth of belongings, including a $228,000 Rolex and $25,000 worth of limited edition clothing, according to a complaint filed on Aug. 27.
The disgraced cornerback is the second player to be booted from the Division 1 team in the last year, following in his teammate Jaiden Pickett’s footsteps after the linebacker was sentenced to three years in prison for accidentally firing a gun inside a home while threatening another athlete last September.
Pickett and Frattalone had been involved in a “physical altercation/argument” with the other athlete, who ran track at the university, before the gunfire erupted, the Brainerd Dispatch reported.
Frattalone — who hadn’t seen any playing time for the NDSU Bisons — was captured on video raving about how he wanted to fight others shortly before the shooting, which miraculously left no one injured, the outlet reported. He never faced any charges in connection to the incident.
