Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy's house was robbed Thursday, shortly before he played a game against the Falcons, police revealed Friday.
A teen, Justin Frazier, was arrested and charged with armed burglary, grand theft, aggravated assault and aggravated battery, according to reports. McCoy was not home at the time of the break-in, but his father, Gerald McCoy Sr., was. Frazier attacked McCoy Sr., who suffered a broken wrist during a struggle with the alleged robber.

The teen was caught after he stuffed some items into a backpack and fled to a neighboring house.
The robbery draws parallels to an incident involving Broncos pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware just a few weeks ago in which a burglar stole items from Ware's home, including his Super Bowl 50 ring, while the Broncos played the Texans. The items were later recovered, and suspects were caught.
