Former basketball player Nate VanArendonk charged with larceny
Former Central Michigan basketball player Nate VanArendonk was charged in Mount Pleasant with larceny for a crime committed on June 29.
VanArendonk has since transferred to Hope College in mid-August following the crime. The larceny was under $200. He's on four months non-reporting probation and has to work five days of community service with the next 30 days from a court ruling with Judge William Rush.
“He came in early last week and decided he lost the passion to put the work in and compete at the Division I level,” said CMU coach Ernie Zeigler after he transferred. “So he decided to move closer to home and to a place less demanding.”
