Suspended Miami guard Eddie Rios arrested

Suspended Miami basketball guard Edwin Rios was arrested and jailed Wednesday on charges of burglary and grand theft, Miami-Dade County jail officials said.

Rios was booked Wednesday at 5:51 a.m. on two counts of burglarizing an unoccupied dwelling, and two counts of grand theft, according to the county’s corrections department Web site.

It could not be immediately determined if Rios has an attorney.

He was suspended by the Hurricanes on Jan. 12 for “violating team rules relating to following team protocol and lack of communication with coaches,” the university said. That suspension was not related to the charges filed Wednesday.

“We are aware of the situation,” team spokeswoman Margaret Belch told The Associated Press, declining further comment.

Rios was released later in the day after posting bond, which was listed on the online records as $12,500 for the burglary counts and $5,000 apiece for the theft charges.

Jail officials said Wednesday evening they had no other information other than what was on the Web site, including which police agency in South Florida actually charged Rios.

It has been a tumultuous season for Rios. He was also suspended briefly in December, then reinstated after two days.

Rios averaged 4.7 points and 12.3 minutes, starting four games this year for Miami.
