Minnesota star basketball recruit Royce White faces misdemeanor charges of theft and fifth-degree assault for allegedly shoplifting at the Mall of America.

Coach Tubby Smith announced indefinite suspensions for White and senior guard Devron Bostick on Tuesday for breaking team rules, but gave no other details.

According to the Bloomington city attorney’s office, White has a Nov. 17 arraignment scheduled stemming from the Oct. 13 incident at the mall.

Police Cmdr. Mark Stehlik said he was unaware of Bostick being involved in the mall incident. Stehlik was out of the office Tuesday afternoon and couldn’t immediately provide more details.

A police report cited by the Star Tribune accuses White of stealing $100 worth of merchandise from Macy’s and twice pushing a security guard to the ground.

White’s campus phone rang busy Tuesday. Bostick’s phone rang unanswered.
