Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was issued a citation Tuesday for shoplifting crab legs from Publix, according to multiple sources. Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is a red-shirt sophomore for the Seminoles.
"He got an adult civil citation," a trusted source inside Tallahassee Police told Tomahawk Nation. "If he completes the sanctions it will never show up on his record. They commonly give them to juveniles on first criminal offenses. They are now doing it for minor misdemeanors for adults to lower crime rate."
Winston tossed the winning touchdown in the National Championship game over Auburn in the closing seconds. On the year, he was 257-384 for 4087 yards and 40 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.
Winston has had previous run-ins with the law, but no arrests. 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.
The timing of the citation is interesting given that the NCAA recently approved unlimited meals for student athletes.
Winston was recently voted the quarterback on the Florida State All-Jimbo Fisher team.
11:30 Update: A source inside Florida State's program says that Winston will be fined $30, required to do community service, and will be suspended from the baseball team.

A question perhaps Jameis Winston should have asked.
Huh?
Are you Spurrier in disquise?
LOL, that was funny.
OUCH!...A visit to emergency for crab leg removal is not worth the risk...I’ll buy them.
That was very shellfish of him...
I am having the same problem. Funny stuff.
Also...I’m just laughing out loud thinking about the moment they release his Wonderlic test score...
Ayn Rand “no way to rule lawful man” alert.
Activities formerly known as crimes are not and lawful activities now defined as crimes.
Forward!!
True. All jokes aside, I bet this guy ends up in prison like Michael Vick. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Isn’t it? That’s one of the best Photoshops I’ve seen in a long time.
tastes like chicken
Not I, good sir. :)
Now he's really in trouble. The NCAA will hit him with a Show Claws penalty.
Is this what he did to Auburn? He assaulted and then robbed them???
The photoshopped images on Twitter about this are hilarious.
I once walked into a Florida State locker room and actually saw a man eating crab.
Generally you are who you are, which explains such odd phenomena as millionaire rap impresarios or singers caught shoplifting, involved in shootings, etc. Money and fame don’t change your history. Just ask OJ.
I need a laugh, what’s the hashtag?
It’s not like he shot the President.
Hey now, that is unfair of you. OJ is still searching for Nicole’s killer. He just got preoccupied searching the cookie tray, doughnut tray....
