per PennLive.com:
The Imhotep Charter high school football players spent Saturday celebrating their big playoff victory Friday and looking ahead to the state championship game Thursday in Hershey.
Isheem Young, the Panthers’ star player and a Penn State recruit, was focused on bail money instead.
Young, 18, missed the emotional 34-14 win over Bethlehem Catholic High School on Friday night because he was awaiting arraignment on counts of aggravated assault, robbery, firearms violations, criminal conspiracy, and related offenses. Eventually, bail was set at $150,000. A police spokeswoman said Saturday that she did not know whether bail had been made.
What is known is that Philadelphia police arrested Young around 1:40 a.m. Friday — about 17 hours before the Panthers’ 7 p.m. kickoff — at his apartment in the 1600 block of Mount Vernon Street.
A police report alleges that Young, armed with a black revolver, robbed the Wawa at 1602 Christopher Columbus Blvd. on July 30 and took $13,600 cash in one- and five-dollar bills from the store’s safe. Neither the gun nor the cash has been recovered, police said.
Wawa representatives did not respond to a request for comment. Penn State’s policy is to not comment on recruited players who committed to the university but not signed a letter of intent. But 247Sports.com, which follows Penn State football closely, on Saturday removed the 5-foot-10, 200-pound Young from Penn State’s commitment list for the class of 2018. Young could have signed a letter of intent Dec. 20.
