OT: Jameis Winston In Legal Trouble For Stealing Crab Legs
The headline says it all. "Jameis Winston Citation for Shoplifting Crab Legs at Publix."
This has to be one of the strangest offseason arrest notices we'll see.

EDIT: Original headline reported he had been arrested. Following a press release, it's been revealed that he was only issued a citation. Header changed to account for that.

just ain't right with that guy.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
Amazing that FSU didn't get to this in time to cover it up.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:16 AM ^
sure there will be a "full investigation into the matter." There is always a "full investigation into the matter" regardless of what the matter is.
Unless the issue is smoking pot. Then they summarily issue a one year suspension and they take your first born.
I don't think he'll have a leg to stand on in court.
letting these guys eat all they want. Can't come a moment too soon.
that somebody would crab the bull by the horns and get him Winston under control.
These days, Jameis seems to be a shell of his former/younger self.
for not paying for the claw.
I see what you did there.

with stealing leg once so I'm not surprised that he tried again.

Bite your tongue. There isn't a more difficult life out there than being a D-1 football player.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
You mean he'll remember that Winston had actually paid for them?
memory hole. By tomorrow we won't have heard a thing about it.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
You would think he would lay low right about now. Geez.....crab legs?? I'm amazed his meals aren't comped for the rest of his time in Fl.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
are not going to be very happy.
April 30th, 2014 at 12:21 PM ^
I bet they're downright CRABBY!
They will be "boiling" mad.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
He wasn't arrested, he was issued a citation. That citation will be cleared from his record if he does all the things he is required to do - an act typically reserved for minors but sometimes applied to minor misdemeonors for adults. This makes more sense, as we're talking about the Tallahasse Police and an important FSU football player.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:14 AM ^
Yep, corrected that. Only saw the initial story that stated he was arrested before the TPD statement. Thanks for the clarification!
April 30th, 2014 at 12:53 PM ^
Well he is getting better, first it was a rape investigation, then stealing crab legs, pretty soon it will only be jaywalking.
That's a distinction without much difference. Not taking him into custody doesn't mean he won't be charged with a misdemeanor. It may get dismissed, but whether he was arrested or cited has nothing to do with that.

doing in that pic?

April 30th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
When I actually know who you are talking about.
April 30th, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
April 30th, 2014 at 11:14 AM ^
Thanks, was having a rough morning, this made my day.
I hadn't known about the Burger King incident, stealing soda "in ketchup cups"? Aren't ketchup cups about 1 ounce? Maybe 2? Looking forward to seeing his Wonderlic score.
And I love the link for "Related: Fried soft shell crabs meuniere".
April 30th, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
Atleast he picked good healthy food
April 30th, 2014 at 11:16 AM ^
I had to laugh when I saw that the "related story" was a recipe posted on the LSU site at SBNation, but that does bring up an interesting question - if you are going to steal the crab legs, why not also get the makings of a nice white wine or garlic butter sauce to go with them? If nothing else, given his taste in shoplifting, one has to make a full meal of this experience.
from a fresh consignment in from the Gulf on Monday mornings. I live in Tallahassee, and I made up all of this.
to instead just head to
for some Krabby Patties?

Somewhere Johnny Football is laughing.....
April 30th, 2014 at 12:25 PM ^
This is my thought. Winston is perpetually in legal trouble and gets nothing. Manziel signs some autographs and gets crucified by the media. A&M needs some better boosters.
The problem is down here in TX we've got the Gulf Blue Crabs which have no leg meat, only big fat bellies, so there is no running from the law.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:18 AM ^
It's looking more and more like he's not going to finish his eligibility just due to off the field problems.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:20 AM ^
Rumor has it this may not be the first time he obtained stolen crabs.
April 30th, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
April 30th, 2014 at 11:21 AM ^
I don't even know if "legal trouble" is the right phrase, given the Tallahassee PD's extreme reluctance to put him in legal trouble.
