Two OU men’s basketball players were cited and released Saturday night in connection with a shoplifting incident at Sooner Fashion Mall in Norman.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer Newell said freshman guard Steven Pledger and freshman forward Andrew Fitzgerald were ticketed for petty larceny by Dillard’s security.
Newell said the players were caught by a Dillard’s employee. No arrests were made.
Team spokesman Mike Houck said the situation was a team matter and discipline would be handled internally.
Pledger and Fitzgerald both played in the 80-71 win against Texas earlier in the night before the incident. Fitzgerald started the game and scored three points, while Pledger scored nine points in 24 minutes of action.
Both were seen at practice Monday.
