This weekend, police arrested more than two dozen people, including visitors from Florida and Texas, in connection with a prostitution ring in Atlantic City, NJ. One of them was Khalif Wyatt, the star guard for the Temple basketball team, who was reportedly celebrating his 21st birthday.

Wyatt, who is supposed to be a senior in the fall, was arrested after soliciting an undercover police officer this past weekend. Police charged him with engaging in prostitution and resisting arrest, according to Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia.

The basketball star is originally from Norristown, PA. Last season, Wyatt had the most points on Temple’s team, and was a part of the Atlantic 10′s second team. The university is reportedly still looking into the charges against the player.
