UCLA women’s basketball player
sentenced
Former UCLA women’s basketball player Ayesha Rembert, who
pleaded no contest to three burglary and theft charges last month,
was sentenced on Aug. 18 to 90 days in the county jail and three
years formal probation.
Rembert, a reserve junior forward on the basketball team last
year, was arrested on Jan. 19 on charges that she took items worth
$3000, including a laptop and leather jacket, from third-year
history student Tiffiny Walls.
At the sentencing Rembert was also ordered to pay full
restitution to Walls which will be determined by the probation
department.
After her January arrest Rembert was suspended from the
basketball team, though the athletic department declined to state
whether or not the suspension had anything to do with her
arrest.
