Police say a second suspect has been arrested for stealing a ceremonial sword and bullhorn from Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Pitino’s office at St. John’s University. A 17-year-old was arrested Tuesday on burglary and trespassing charges in the Aug. 20 theft. Twenty-five-year-old Emanuel Yakubov was arrested Aug. 23. That was one day after police released surveillance footage showing two men walking down a hallway with the stolen sword and bullhorn. A phone message seeking comment was left with the 17-year-old’s attorney on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Legal Aid Society, which is representing Yabukov, said he had no comment on the charges.
