MINNEAPOLIS (KVRR/KFGO) – A former North Dakota State University Bison football player is charged with stealing a Louis Vuitton duffle bag full of expensive items from a boat on Lake Minnetonka on the Fourth of July.

Hennepin County court records say 20-year-old William Frattalone of Wayzata is accused of taking the bag from a sealed area of a boat docked on the lake near a restaurant. The bag contained numerous valuables including the victim’s car keys, air pods, flash drives, passport, expensive cologne, $25,000 worth of clothing, up to $10,000 in cash, and a Rolex watch valued at nearly $230,000.

Investigators tracked the items by pinging the air pods. Officers say they found the bag and clothing in Frattalone’s bedroom closet.

Frattalone is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
