Wake Forest hoops recruit arrested

Aminu charged with assault

A high school basketball star who signed to play at Wake Forest next season was charged with aggravated assault and trespassing.

Al-Farouq Aminu, a 6-foot-8 senior at Norcross (Ga.) High School, turned himself in Friday after being accused of shooting a female with a BB gun from a vehicle on March 14, Gwinnett County sheriff's spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais said. He was released on $3,500 bond early Saturday.

Bourbonnais said she did not know the extent of the victim's injuries and had no other details about the incident.

"We are in the process of gathering all of the information on this incident and it would not be fair to make any statement or judgment until we collect all of the facts," Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio said in a statement.
