Sentinels are reportedly set to suspend Valorant<\/a> player Hunter “SicK” Mims after he was arrested on March 4 in Dallas, Texas, for criminal trespassing. <\/p>\n

The player was arrested after an incident at a Ferrari car dealership which he posted on his Twitter page a day earlier. In the clip, an employee of the establishment could be heard asking SicK to leave the premises; however, the player, who was recording the video, refused to do so. <\/p>\n

Following the incident, SicK was apprehended and held at the Collin County jail for two days on charges of ‘Class B Misdemeanor’. The player had a bond of $5,000 and has yet to post a tweet since March 3. Per the Law Office of Andrew Williams, SicK could be fined up to $2,000 or face jail time of 180 days. <\/p>\n

While Sentinels have not terminated his contract, as a result of SicK’s actions, the organization intend to suspend him until the completion of a training that he will have to undergo after his release from jail. <\/p>\n

They are also reportedly working with SicK’s family to help him with his personal issues. Still, Sentinels are yet to release a statement concerning the incident due to its personal and sensitive nature. <\/p>\n

The esports organization are now searching for a replacement to fill in for SicK in the upcoming VCT 2023<\/a> Americas League. Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen, who previously played with OpTic Gaming, is currently one of the top picks for the role. <\/p>\n

Marved is currently in free agency and is one of the most sought-after gmaers in the Valorant market alongside Jaccob “Yay” Whiteaker. Although discussions with the player are already underway, nothing has been decided on yet. <\/p>\n

SicK’s brush with the law comes days after he was involved in online drama with his ex-girlfriend during the VCT LOCK\/\/IN in Brazil. He has taken time off the team on several occasions for personal reasons. <\/p>\n

The NA player took a break in May 2022 and did not play with the Sentinels during the Valorant Champions 2022 last-chance qualifier. The player was also absent from the lineup during the last weeks of the VCT Stage 2 Challengers.<\/p>\n

SicK eventually returned to Sentinels as a streamer and played a substitute role for the organization during the offseason. Since his May break, SicK has not participated in a professional match. Besides Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, the player is the only Sentinels member to remain on the lineup from the 2022 season.<\/p>\n

Sentinels are slated to compete in the VCT 2023 Americas League, which will run from April 1 to May 28.<\/p>\n
