So this happened. In Florida. Of course.
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was busted after shoplifting crab legs from a Publix grocery store on Tuesday.
Because…hungry.
Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, was issued a citation for the bushel burglary, according to multiple sources. But this isn’t the first time he’s had run-ins with the law.
He was investigated for an alleged rape, but the State Attorney declined to bring charges due to a lack of evidence. In November, the associated press reported that Winston was questioned about his involvement in a long-running BB gun battle, and that a Burger King reported Winston was stealing soda in a ketchup cup.
Ridiculous, yes, but knowing that a football player who has brought so much revenue to the team has to steal food is, well, disheartening.
