Two University of Wyoming athletes have been kicked of their respective teams after being arrested by the Laramie Police Department on Tuesday.
Men’s basketball player Shakir Smith is suspected of larceny and wrestling team member Patrick Martinez was suspected of conspiracy to commit larceny, according to the Laramie Police Department.
