In a brief statement released Friday by the athletic department, Maryland men’s coach Mark Turgeon said “Trayvon failed to meet the standards that are required by the university athletics department.”

When reached by telephone, Turgeon declined to comment on the charges pending against the 7-foot-1 center, including second-degree assault, second degree assault of a police officer, theft under $100 and resisting arrest.

According to court documents, two plainclothes officers working in the store saw Reed putting a Twix ice cream bar into his pants pocket and leaving the store without paying.

When one of the officers saw Reed take the ice cream from his pocket in the parking lot, the officer showed his identification to Reed and an unidentified male companion and told Reed he was under arrest.

As the officer tried to arrest him, Reed tried to run away but the officer grabbed him. A scuffle ensued and police said Reed fought the officer “with his hands” and struck the officer on the left hand.

The officer, who needed the help of his partner to subdue Reed, wound up with two broken fingers.

Aside from the ice cream bar, valued at $2.11, police found in Reed’s possession a four-pack of Reese’s Cups also priced at $2.11 as well as a two-pack of King Sized Reese’s Cups worth $1.37.

The second-degree assault charges carry sentences of 10 years each, and fines ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 (for assaulting an officer). The theft charge carries a maximum term of 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine; resisting arrest carries a maximum term of three years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
