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.

Another reason I miss the Old Head Ball Coach.
If it is true, nothing will become of it. He will get out of this one also. And so it goes.
I don’t see a consistent hash tag. Here is the story that has a bunch of the tweets: http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/04/30/report-heisman-winner-jameis-winston-arrested-for-stealing-crab-legs/
They have a video.
They don’t call the the “Criminoles” for nothing.
He is just epic at trolling other teams. The master.
Those who voted him the Heisman must be very proud of themselves. Somehow they ignored the ‘integrity’ component when they voted for him.
Hah, good one.

In the old days colleges had something called the training table, where all the athletes were properly fed. Whatever happened to that?
You are having entirely too much fun with this.
