PINELLAS PARK, FLA. — Police arrested an 18-year-old male Tuesday after they said he went through a Pinellas Park neighborhood collecting donations for a basketball tournament that did not exist.
Keyshawn Kemp was stopped on 80th Avenue and charged with misrepresenting a solicitation as being for a charity, according to the Pinellas Park Police Department.
Police said Kemp used the name “AAU USA” and signs claiming the donations would support a basketball tournament in Phoenix.
Investigators later learned that AAU USA is a legitimate organization, but the basketball team and tournament Kemp claimed to represent did not exist.
Kemp was booked into the Pinellas County Jail on $5,000 bond.
