RALEIGH -- A Raleigh high school basketball player who is considered the number one recruit in the country has been arrested.
John Wall played for Word of God in Raleigh. Officers say they responded to a report of breaking and entering at an empty home on Laurel Glen Drive and arrested Wall as he was leaving the home. Another person, 16-year-old Bria Renea Draugn, was also arrested, and a third suspect was arrested after he returned to the scene.
All three were charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering and were released. Police say there was no sign of forced entry and nothing was taken from the home.
The Associated Press named Wall the North Carolina Prep Player of the Year. He is believed to be considering scholarship offers from Kentucky, Duke, Baylor, Memphis, Miami, Kansas, N.C. State and Florida.
