Theft arrests for 3 incoming UCLA football players

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three incoming UCLA football players have been arrested on suspicion of felony theft.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records show Joshua Shirley, Shaquille Richardson and Paul Richardson — all 18-year-old freshmen — were arrested on the UCLA campus Wednesday, booked at a county jail and released early Thursday morning.

Shaquille Richardson and Paul Richardson posted $20,000 bail each and Shirley was released without posting bail, the records showed.

A UCLA police watch commander said Saturday he has no immediate information on the arrests or the alleged crimes.

Shaquille Richardson is a cornerback from Los Alamitos, Paul Richardson is a wide receiver from Gardena, and Shirley is a linebacker from Fontana.

A phone message left for a UCLA football spokesman was not immediately returned.
