Former Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez arrested
NEWARK, N.J. -- Former Seton Hall basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez is in trouble again.
Fired in March for his antics on and off the court, Gonzalez has been arrested on charges of shoplifting from a New Jersey mall.
Gonzalez, 47, reported to Millburn police headquarters on Monday. He faces charges of criminal mischief, along with shoplifting. He is accused of taking a satchel worth roughly $1,400 from the Polo Ralph Lauren store in the Short Hills Mall on June 29.
Ousted Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez was arrested on charges of shoplifting from a N.J. mall.
He plans to plead not guilty, said defense attorney Gerald Krovatin, who also is representing Gonzalez in a lawsuit over his dismissal. He called the accusations a miscommunication and a series of misunderstandings.
"Bobby had no intention of stealing anything," Krovatin said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
A spokeswoman for the Essex County prosecutor's office says the shoplifting charge is a third-degree offense punishable by up to five years in jail.
