All Star Suncoast High linebacker Elrado Telfer was arrested in connection with a five-month crime spree at the school, one of the Palm Beach County School District’s flagships.
Telfer, 18, was charged with two counts of burglary, two of grand theft, three counts of dealing in stolen property and providing false information to a pawn shop.
He’s out on $11,000-bond and back at the Riviera Beach school, where the principal told Page2Live that Telfer may have been using the money from his crimes to buy food!
Teachers, however, have complained about his return after 10 days on alternative suspension and the fact Telfer, a senior, will graduate. A meeting with the principal to discuss it has been called for Thursday afternoon.
A teacher who declined to be identified said the feeling of many teachers is that Suncoast — Florida’s No.1 school in 2008, according to Newsweek — gave Telfer a break because he is a football star.
As many as seven other students may be involved the spree, sources told me. At least three are on the football team and another on the girls’ basketball squad. They’ve not been charged.
