A 25-year-old Queens, New York, resident was arrested Friday and charged with the theft of items from St. John's men's basketball head coach Rick Pitino's office.
Emanuel Yakubov was charged with burglary, petit larceny, trespassing and possession of stolen property, police said. He remained in custody as of Saturday.
Yakubov was one of two men seen in surveillance footage walking down a hallway in Carnesecca Arena, where Pitino's office is located, with stolen memorabilia.
The items, which included a basketball, a bullhorn and a sword, had an estimated value of $375.
"St. John's University is grateful for the rapid response made by the NYPD and the recovery of stolen property," university spokesperson Brian Browne said in a statement. "The safety and security of our campus community are essential, and our cooperative relationship with law enforcement helps ensure that."
The other suspect remains at large.
